    Building Communities

    A community of family businesses built on four tracks: governance, investment, advocacy and social responsibility.

    Overview

    One community, four tracks

    The Center is building a community of family businesses that brings together owners, the next generation, advisors and institutions, and works in it through four connected tracks.

    Governance, to build charters and councils; investment, to enable growth and sustainable opportunities; advocacy, to carry family businesses' voice to policymakers; and social responsibility, to strengthen family businesses' role in serving society.

    Governance Track

    Strengthening the governance of family businesses and building their charters and councils, so they last across generations.

    Investment Track

    Helping family businesses grow, opening sustainable investment opportunities to them, and building partnerships between them.

    Advocacy

    Carrying the voice and proposals of family businesses to policy-makers, and taking part in shaping the related regulations.

    Social Responsibility

    Strengthening the social role of family businesses, and showing their initiatives in serving society and their impact.
