Tools for Creating a Multi-Gen Family Legacy
In multigenerational families, meaningful involvement doesn't begin with titles or shares. It begins with trust, conversation, and connection.
This webinar, led by Elizabeth Ledoux and Andrea Carpenter of The Transition Strategists and hosted in partnership with Loyola University Chicago's Family Business Center, explores practical frameworks for bringing the next generation into your family's future, without building in a vacuum, without creating chaos, and without waiting until you have all the answers.
