The Conway Center for Family Business provides solutions to family business challenges by helping family business leaders share plans, ideas, and experiences.
Recognizing that family-owned businesses represent the heartbeat of our economy, the nonprofit Conway Center was founded in 1998 to provide education, networking, and recognition to family-owned businesses in the region.
Started by family business owners and service providers who recognized that family dynamics create unique business issues, the Conway Center has more than 200 family business members representing more than 35,000 employees, and more than 30 service provider members who work together to help family businesses be successful.
