What Family Businesses Are Saying
“I love the Chamber and especially the Chamber’s FBA. Family businesses are so unique in their special ways and being with a group of individuals that understand that and can relate is so useful and comforting.”
Emily Coyle, Procurement Specialist – M.J. Reider Associates
‘I’m so excited about the Chamber’s Family Business Alliance (FBA). I’m participating in a peer discussion group and after just one session I knew I was going to personally and professionally grow from the experience. I’m gaining a better understanding of the inherent challenges of family members working together and have already learned methods my husband and I can use to work to overcome these challenges. Ultimately I know that our employees, surrounding family and friends, our personal life and our business are all going to positively benefit from what I take away from these peer discussion group sessions.’
