Power Breakfast - The Family Business Advantage

Reaching the third generation of family business leadership is a powerful milestone. Modern research proves that multi-generational family enterprises are among the most resilient, adaptive, and stable forces in the global economy, built on a foundation of long-term vision and deep community roots. On September 29, the Greater Fayetteville Business Journal is bringing together a dynamic panel of leaders who are driving this next era of growth at our Power Breakfast—The Family Business Advantage: How Third-Generation Leaders Drive Longevity and Innovation.

Our panelists all represent the third generation of their respective family businesses, but they bring a diverse range of perspectives. Spanning different ages and career stages, they will share how they leverage decades of institutional wisdom while simultaneously pioneering fresh strategies for today’s fast-paced economy.
