Family Business Entrepreneurship Program

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 families, 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
