Center for Family Enterprises | May 2020 Newsletter

Dear KCFE Friends,

Over the past month, family businesses have been stretched in unprecedented ways, forcing companies to adapt and make difficult decisions for the stability of their organization. As COVID-19 changes the family enterprise landscape, we will continue to offer the best resources for those seeking insight and answers to succeeding during times of crises. Below we’ve curated family business articles that we hope you find useful during this difficult time. We’ve also supported friends of the Center by hosting several video chats and a webinar for family businesses to discuss their challenges and issues. If you missed our webinar, we’ve included the recording and writeup below.

Looking ahead, Kellogg has suspended in-person executive education programming through 2020, which affects our Family Enterprise Boards (September) and Governing Family Enterprises (October) programs. Stay tuned for updates regarding new dates for these programs.

In the meantime, please reach out if you have any questions surrounding all things family enterprises. We are here with you all the way!

Best,

Jennifer PendergastExecutive DirectorKellogg Center for Family EnterprisesJohn L Ward Clinical Professor of Family Enterprise
