Drawing on recent research and first-hand accounts with family business owners and CEOs, the director of the Vermont Family Business Initiative at the University of Vermont and our panel will examine the key traits of the most successful (and enduring) family businesses–and how their CFOs played a significant role in that success.
Back in 2016, we created our 'OWN YOUR RAISE' program to solve some of the unique issues women founders face when it comes to raising money: lack of access to knowledge and investor networks and a need for greater confidence and executive leadership growth in scenarios where they are often the only woman in the room. We have created a safe space where fellows can be inspired by and champion each other, where they can connect and build on their leadership and fundraising strategy, and where they can ultimately OWN. THEIR. RAISE.

While an effective board has always been important, it is especially essential in periods of economic turbulence. Board members who offer independent insights from their own experience, and provide access to external resources are critical to management when making decisions key to organizational viability. Building and sustaining a high performance board requires an investment of time, the right leadership and a thoughtful strategy. It is important to align the board’s role and its members’ expectations with the nonprofit’s stage of organizational development. Without proper stewardship, tension can arise when what an organization needs from its board transcends members’ understanding of their role .
Is there an income gap between your current take home pay and the income needed to achieve your desired goals and dreams? Then this may be the opportunity you have been looking for. This is not a get rich quick opportunity.
