For the long-term success of the family, timely and thoughtful exploration of future planning for self and family is also required, but often overlooked. This session presents ideas and best practices for strategically planning for the lasting success of individuals, family, and business, while recognizing the complex intertwining of the three. Part 1 - The Complex Intertwining of Self, Family, and Business Part 2 - Communication Techniques and Governance Structures Part 3 - Effective Preparation and Inclusion of Family and Business Stakeholders

Seminar 2	Family Learning Programs: Designing for Engagement Panelists: Duncan MacRae, Family Capital Corporation; Kim Schneider Malek, Founder, Family/Enterprise Alliance, LLC, Kischma Consulting; Greg McCann, Founder, McCann and Associates; Heidi Roberts, Director of Organizational Effectiveness, BridgeGreen Capital Inc., Ruth Steverlynck, Principal, Your Family Enterprise; Monica Walter, Family Development Director, RFA Management Company, LLC Facilitators: Sara Hamilton, Founder & CEO, Family Office Exchange; Jane Flanagan, Managing Director, Family Office Exchange Many FOX members have come to realize that effective education programs don’t just happen, they are creatively designed with specific outcomes in mind. Come to this session to hear from several chief learning officers who are positively impacting their families by designing engaging experiential programs for each generation. Program overviews and learning modules designed and used by three families will be featured. There will also be an important discussion about managing learner expectations and how you can address these issues in a constructive manner to improve empathy and engagement with rising-generation owners. Part 1 - Overview of family learning programs being used and sample presentations for family learning modules Part 2 - An explanation of how to manage learner expectations and incorporate different learning styles in program development

Seminar 3	Building Trust in the Family Owner Group: Clarifying Roles and Aligning on Goals Presenters and Facilitators: Marion McCollom Hampton, Senior Partner, BanyanGlobal; Nick Di Loreto, Principal, BanyanGlobal Family businesses transitioning from the owner-manager stage to a larger and more diverse family ownership group often lack the practices necessary to assure owner alignment and avoid conflict. Many times, owner groups are perched on the lip of what we call the “conflict spiral,” ready to descend into fractured communication and hostile relationships. Our presenters have found that the “four-room model” provides a clear and practical perspective on how governance and decision-making can evolve in successful family enterprises. Creating a space for owners to receive information, interact, learn, discuss, and make appropriate decisions is often key to building trust in what otherwise can be a fractured and politicized group of owners. This topic will be explored using a short case and discussion groups. Part 1 - Building trust through building out the “four-rooms” of governance Part 2 - Recognizing traps in owner groups that damage trust and foster conflict

Seminar 4	Skin In The Game: A Creative Approach for Entrepreneurs to Raise Capital Facilitators: Nicole Loftus, Founder & CEO, Skin in the Game; Anna Belyaev, COO, Skin in the Game In Skin in the Game, a proposed TV show with a format similar to Shark Tank, the audience effectively runs the game, deciding which businesses get funded. Audience members also have the option to invest their own capital in the Skin in the Game fund. More than fun and games, it was designed with projections for job creation and economic development in mind, and the success of these crowd-funded deals will be published and discussed on each show. In this informative and interactive session, you’ll gain insights on investment opportunities that conventional private equity funders are missing. You’ll also learn about the process for attracting and vetting opportunities that align with your investment objectives and values. Part 1 - Skin in the Game Business Model Part 2 - Selecting Candidates for Venture Capital Funding Part 3 - Critique of Two Venture Companies

Breakout 1	A Rising Generation Redefines the Family Vision Presenter: Elizabeth Carlock Phillips, Executive Director, Phillips Foundation; Catherine Burnett, Chief Operating Officer, Phillips Foundation; Shannon Cagnina, Chief Operating Officer, Phillips Enterprises When FOX member Elizabeth Carlock Phillips assumed leadership of the Phillips Foundation in 2013, she and the trustees moved deliberately and with great passion to re-align the corpus as well as the grant-making function of the foundation with their family values. In order to do so, she sought out new relationships with impact-oriented financial advisers and other experts to help achieve the family’s goals. Today, the Phillips family’s vision, mission, and values-orientation is guiding not only the family’s foundation assets, but also their family operating businesses and their broader investment strategy. In this session, Elizabeth will share highlights from this journey, including the steps she and her husband, as rising generation family leaders, have taken to redefine Phillips Enterprises for the next era.

Breakout 2	Age Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Presenter: Coventry Edwards-Pitt, CFA, CFP®, Chief Wealth Advisory Officer, Ballentine Partners, LLC Longevity is a gift only if you know how to use it. Covie will share insights from vibrant elders about the factors that allowed them to design meaningful later lives as well as the best practices that each of us can put in place today to ensure that our aging impacts our families more positively than negatively. Covie will lead us through a planning process to help families get started, based on how she has observed other families successfully navigate the longevity journey.

Breakout 3	Impact Through Direct Investing – Wisdom from the Trenches Presenters: Sanjeev Krishnan, Managing Director, S2G Ventures; Josh Mailman, Founder and Managing Director, Serious Change LP; Tony Michaels, Chief Executive Officer, Midwestern Bio Ag; Shally Shanker, Founder and CEO, Aiim Partners (Alpha Impact Investment Management) Moderator: Michael Whelchel, Co-Founder & Partner, Big Path Capital Like the Fink Family, a growing number of families are investing directly into impact companies and for good reason. There are great investment opportunities and investors can pick the specific type of positive impact they would like to see (sustainable fishery, renewable energy, financial inclusion, etc.). But investing directly into companies efficiently and effectively requires a different acumen and infrastructure than investing in public markets. This panel will bring together two veteran family investors who have deep experience investing in direct deals and two CEOs of companies who have received capital from family offices to share their wisdom born from their experience. Attend this session for lessons learned, tips, and practical how-to’s.

Breakout 4	Steering the Conversation on Business Succession Presenters: Charlie Carr, US Family Enterprises Advisory Leader, PwC; Jonathan Flack, US Family Business Services Leader, PwC Learn how non-family business executives can lead discussions on succession and why you may want to facilitate this process. In this session, Charlie and Jonathan will share data and case studies from successful (and unsuccessful) successions at leading family enterprises and engage in a group discussion to help answer the following questions: What does succession really mean for the business and family leadership? What guidelines should you employ for ownership succession and passing shares, as well as governance succession of board positions? How are you preparing the next generation for leadership succession and what tactics are you employing for the estate? What does the ‘missing middle’ mean to a family business’s strategic plan and how can it affect the succession process?

Breakout 5	Goals-Based Framework for Risk Management – Case Study Presenter: W. Jackson Parham, Jr., CFA, Chief Investment Officer, Eton Advisors Families of exceptional wealth enjoy abundant resources to achieve family goals, but also face peculiar, idiosyncratic risks not easily managed through traditional means. This session explores a framework for managing those risks while taking advantage of the unique edge which families can have over other investors. In this session, an experienced goals-based investment strategist describes how working with a single-family office founder to address the unique risk needs and investment goals of the family led to the joint development of a simple but powerful framework for managing family risks. In combining family advisory roles, the family’s insurance industry experience, and family goals, Jack describes how wealthy families can gain valuable insight by adopting the perspective and tools utilized by insurance and reinsurance providers to manage major risks. Acquiring this inside perspective and viewing the family portfolio conceptually as the insurer of family goals can be useful in crafting customized solutions to address extraordinary risks.

Breakout 6	Security Strategies for Sophisticated Families Presenters: Rob Gray, Senior Director of Operations and Executive Security, Cox Enterprises; John Lugiano, President, MPS LLC; Eric Powell, Chief Security Officer, Bayshore Global Management LLC Moderator: Tony Gebely, Chief Technology and Integration Officer, Family Office Exchange As new social and geopolitical conflicts arise, threats to a family’s security and well-being change. This landscape has materially shifted over the last few years and, as a result, families need to be prepared to address a variety of personal, physical, and cyber risks. In this session, family security directors from three single family offices will share strategies they use to protect the interests of the global, multigenerational families who employ them. They’ll also share the latest updates from the security front, including top issues families should be concerned about, and the latest best practices and technologies used to mitigate risk.

Ashvin will offer a practical, innovative framework for making smarter choices about aligning your goals to your investment strategy.
