Directors’ Insight

As we head into summer, we want to remind you that our Third Thursday educational programs and many of our peer groups break until September. Summer is a great time to connect with other Conway Center members at our Clippers Night, Golf Outing, and Family Business Tour events. We hope to see you there! This is also a good time to start thinking about family businesses that you know who should be nominated for our Annual Family Business Awards in November. The award categories can be found
here
and you can nominate a deserving family business by clicking

As always, you can find information about all of our programs and events on our
