Board Members

These are family businesses and/or service providers to family businesses. These individuals have elected to become board members, both financially--with a larger membership fee and financial donations---and personally--by making themselves available to the general membership at our seminars and sometimes on a one-on-one basis for your family business concerns. Also, they assist in governing the IFB and work in committees on specific projects. The Advisory Board meets bi-monthly, in addition to the normal sessions.

Their purpose is to provide community service for the family and privately-owned-and-run businesses in a non-commercial environment. These individuals also run their own organizations and provide experience to the general membership.
