Directors’ Insight: November
Our 19th Annual Family Business Awards & Expo was held on November 8th, and was an outstanding celebration of the accomplishments of Central Ohio family businesses. The Expo was a unique way to meet other Center members and find out about their businesses. A great time was had by all! We would like to thank our sponsors for making the event possible: Columbus Business First, First Merchants Bank, Gryphon Financial Partners, Ricart, Rider + Reinke Financial Group, Taft/, and White Castle.
 
With winter coming, we’d like to remind you of our adverse weather policy. We typically only cancel for a Level 2 or if the University shuts down. In the event that we do cancel a program, we will notify media outlets and will send an email notification to our members by 6 a.m. You can also check the event page on our website and ODU’s website.
 
We wish you and your families a very happy, healthy, and harmonious Thanksgiving.
 


Our best,

Dick & Jill
