Moderator: Henry Landes - Delaware Valley Family Business Center

Panelists:
Scott Landis - Landis Supermarkets
Mike McVaugh - Laboratory Testing

Family businesses are very unique because financial and family relationships co-exist inside and outside of the business. Lack of structure and clarity on these issues is one of the leading causes of failure of family businesses and the families that run them. This program will outline the best practices in compensation policy, structure and design for families that work together. Our panelists will give a road map for companies to follow as they address these difficult issues.
