Dr. Stephanie Brun de Pontet is a recognized expert on the topic of family business succession and frequently assists families with challenges that emerge from this transition: establishing a succession plan and communicating it to all stakeholders, drafting family employment and training protocols, as well as building a framework for next-generation sibling or cousin collaborations.

Stephanie brings a unique combination of knowledge and experience from the fields of management, entrepreneurship and psychology to her work with family business clients.  Prior to coming into the field of family business, Stephanie worked for a number of years as an entrepreneur and an advisor to closely held businesses.

Family Business Roundtables

The Executive Group Monthly Round Table - Members Only
    Date:  March 18, 2010 8:00 AM
    
The Emerging Generation Group Round Table - Members Only
    Date:    March 23, 2010 8:00 AM

These on-going, informal gatherings bring peers together to address common problems and sometimes-uncommon solutions.

Roundtables provide members the collective wisdom of colleagues by sharing knowledge and practical advice in a comfortable, confidential discussion led by a professional facilitator. Once established, Family Business Center Roundtables typically function autonomously, with members determining the time, place and content of their group meetings. The best roundtables are small, select groups (7-12 individuals) from non-competing family businesses.
