The conference will be addressing issues surrounding executive recruitment in family business. Families must attract and retain top talent to remain successful and meet the challenges of an ever-changing global market. To do this, they often look to non-family members to fill top posts.  Creating a culture that rewards and empowers non-family executives is crucial.  Family members will delve into: 

• How to create a culture to attract and retain non-family executives
• Compensation schemes
• Shielding the family business from legal issues
  

This session will be an integral part of the program, which serves executives and family members from multi-generational family businesses. Family business leaders participating in delivering the conference include: 

Panelist:
Lansing Crane, Former Chairman and CEO, Crane & Co., USA
George E. Degan Jr., Principal, Immediate Solutions, LLC, and family business shareholder, Stuart Dean, USA
Howdy Holmes, President and CEO, Chelsea Milling Company, USA

Moderator:
Wayne Rivers, President, The Family Business Institute, USA
