About the Seminar:  

This course provides a fast paced overview of core family business governance, human resource and financial elements that need to be codified and mastered in a professionally managed family farm business. The workshop will allow participants to take inventory of where they are in their implementation journey, define consequences of not having structure in place, and benefits to the business from adoption of better practices. The workshop will combine a formal presentation along with case study experiences to give participants a clear pathway for putting principles into practice when they return to their farms.
