Building, Operating & Passing on a Family Business – Ohio Dominican Univ.

Ohio Dominican University (ODU) welcomes Conway Center for Family Business co-founders J. Richard Emens, J.D., and Beatrice Wolper, J.D., as adjunct instructors this fall. Emens Wolper Jacobs & Jasin, who lead the region’s only organization dedicated to helping family business leaders grow and transition their business, will teach Building, Operating and Passing on a Family Business.

 Building, Operating and Passing on a Family Business will examine critical factors related to growth, success and succession. Participants, both traditional students and family business leaders, also will discuss how to manage family dynamics in the context of the business, manage family member entrance and exit, and selling or passing on the business.

“Attending the Family Business course at ODU will provide valuable insight and practical applications for key areas of family-owned businesses, including growth, communication and succession,” Emens said.

“Students and family business leaders who complete this course will gain a new understanding of family business dynamics that will help drive the success and longevity of their own family businesses,” Wolper said.

Classes will take place Tuesday nights from 6-9pm at Ohio Dominican University for 8 weeks, starting March 15.
