Testimonials
“Thank you Joe for a great morning at the "Family Owned Business Institute" summit. Not only was the summit informative, creative, interactive, and helpful, we especially enjoyed the small group exercises. Owning a family owned business can be rewarding, but also very challenging. It is great to know that resources of this caliber are locally available to us. Your speakers were very impressive. Thanks again and we look forward to working more with your Institute.”
- Linda Blanchard and Robert Siterlet, Thermal Tec
“From fascinating concepts about design and innovation, to practical, immediately-usable tools, the GVSU Family Owned Business Institute's Summit on May 21, 2015 offered many excellent takeaways. The half-day event was definitely time well spent, and will pay great dividends for all who attended.”
- Rejeana Heinrich, The Stevens Center for Family Business at SVSU
