Exclusively for our Rising Gen members, we will kick off programming Monday morning. October 23 with Kristi Kuechler from The ImPact joining us to discuss tactics to align your philanthropy with your values through the family office, and accessible ways to address social and environmental problems through your philanthropic choices. Also featured, an expert panel sharing family case studies and tools to embrace the ‘people’ side of your involvement within the family governance structure.  

On Sunday evening, October 22, we will also have an informal dinner open only to our Rising Gen participants.

The rest of the forum is not to be missed. We will feature a fireside chat with industry legend Jay Hughes on his vision of what the future holds for family capital, and other critical family-centric topics such as the essentials of family governance, spousal integration, next generation leadership, and long- & short-term family planning.  You will come away with ideas, tools, and frameworks to ensure a positive and dynamic enterprise for the future, and your place in it.
