"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."

 "How-To": Meaningful Giving as a Family Business-Panel Discussion with Prominent Business Leaders

Thursday, December 15, 2022
 8:00 – 8:30 a.m. Continental Breakfast, 8:30-10:00 a.m. Program

This session will feature examples of how family businesses in Maine developed their charitable giving strategies. Participants will learn how different families approached their planning process and take away several ideas to inform their own planning. Many family businesses are generous with charitable giving and deeply involved in their communities.

How families in business respond to the opportunity to make a lasting impact and create a legacy is as unique as the family itself. Join us to hear how three different families approached their planning, developed their giving portfolios, and learned and grew along with their community partners.
