DURHAM, N.H. -- Case studies of two very successful
New Hampshire businesses will illustrate the topic of
the University of New Hampshire's Center for Family
Business program, "Managing Family Business
Transfer," Tuesday, Dec. 4, at New Hampshire
Distributors Inc., 65 Regional Drive, Concord. A
continental breakfast begins at 8 a.m. and the program
will be held from 8:30 to11:30 a.m.
Experienced family business professionals will lead this
program, which takes a look at significant issues and
events in the transfer of two New Hampshire businesses
after the death of the founder and departure of other
family members. Participants will learn how parents'
attitudes influenced the business and affected the
transfers, as well as techniques that were helpful in
transferring stock ownership and leadership. Speakers
will discuss estate and insurance planning, the
importance of mentoring and leadership training, and
how family businesses can prepare for future ownership
change. They will summarize what worked well in the
business transfer, and what they would have done
differently.
"This may be one of the best opportunities for people
from New Hampshire family businesses to learn from
their peers, from real life experience by those who lived
it," according to Barbara Draper, director of the Center,
which is an outreach program of UNH's Whittemore
School of Business and Economics. There will be
ample time for participant questions and discussion.
Sponsors of the Center for Family Business series are
MassMutual Insurance; Berry, Dunn, McNeil and
Parker, CPA; Genus Resources; Family Business
Consultants and Cleveland, Waters and Bass, attorneys.
Registration by Nov. 27 is requested by calling Draper
