"This morning's conference was great!  It was a wide range of participants on the panels and that was a great way to hear a wide view of options and ideas from the panelists!  Kevin Hancock gets my vote for most open, honest and helpful answers to questions. He was outstanding and his thoughts today were very heartfelt and honest.  Take away the layers of "facade" and discuss the truth of what it's like and how you face the issuers."

The Institute kicks off a new series called the "Family Business Spotlight." Each quarter we will feature a family business that has had a long relationship with the Institute and has a deep commitment to supporting family-owned businesses in Maine.  

We start this series with Volk Packaging Corporation.  Derek, Douglas and Kenneth Volk were honored to receive the very first “Family Business of the Year” Award from the Institute in 2000.  They also were named one of Maine’s “Best Places to Work” in 2011 and won the Governor’s Award for Business Excellence in 2012. 

Employees stay with the Volk family because it is truly a family atmosphere and they are always looking to keep the workforce happy.

 Tour Volk’s facilities including the famous “Wall of Fame” which has over 500 signed celebrity autographs from presidents, actors and athletes including George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Florence Henderson, Barbara Walters, Bob Barker, Jack Nicklaus, Curt Schilling and Paul Pierce.


Meet their employees and hear from the family about the challenges and successes of running a family business.

Enjoy great food from Blue Elephant, a boutique family-owned catering company, that creates unique and memorable designer events and weddings. They offer innovative menus, table & room decor, and staffing. Their goal is to work with each client individually to bring ideas and budgets together to create special events that will make a lasting impression on all who attend.

COST:  Complimentary for IFOB and Chamber Members and $10 Future Members.  Please RSVP by registering for the event online or via email to Catherine below.
