Directors’ Insight

We had a great time at our recent Family Business Night at the Columbus Clippers. Thank you to the over 200 family business and community leaders and employees who joined us. We thank Gerri Speer of
Corporate Interior Concepts
for throwing out the first pitch and we even had the rare treat of witnessing a grand slam homerun! We have more great events coming up and hope that you will join us:

 
Meanwhile, save the date for our 19th Annual
Family Business Awards & Expo
and 
nominate 
a deserving family business – including your own – for this wonderful celebratory event on November 8th.
 
Our monthly programming will kick off again in September. As always, you can find information about all our programs and events on our
website
.

The Conway Center greatly appreciates Graystone Consulting and White Castle for providing financing to the Center for ODU rent and space usage this year!  It was a shock to us when we were told after seventeen years that the Center would have to begin paying ODU for space; the Center thanks White Castle and Graystone Consulting for this wonderful “extra” support!
 
Our very best,
Dick & Jill
