The LMU Family Business Entrepreneurship Program was started to meet the needs of businesses, alumni, and students looking for a community and resources to help address the unique challenges and opportunities faced by family-run businesses.
LMU's Fred Kiesner Center for Entrepreneurship partnered with Business Consulting Resources, one of the leading family business consultancies in the country, to create a unique program that provides education and community-building opportunities to support its members.
The mission of the program is to help family enterprises innovate and thrive, thereby strengthening family, businesses and communities by:
- Creating a collaborative community
- Expanding their entrepreneurial mindset
- Providing tangible resources and educational opportunities
- Supporting the role of family enterprises in the broader community
Throughout the year, we provide:
- Monthly educational opportunities, including workshops, family business speaker series and lunch & learns
- Quarterly live networking events
- Annual conference
- Ongoing thought leadership and research
