This invitation-only event is an opportunity for middle market and upper middle market family business owners and executives to convene\, benchmark and share best practices on timely topics such as: governance\, succession planning\, family office\, family meetings\, philanthropy\, geopolitics and economic outlook. \nRegistration is limited to 100 executives from across the state. \n \n REGISTER\n \n Date:\n April 29-30\, 2026\n Time:\n 12:00PM – 11:00AM\n Venue:\n The American Club \nKohler\n \nExtending to the Next Generation\nA third of Wisconsin businesses are family owned\, employing about 40% of all employees. But nationally\, only about a third survive through the second generation\, 12% through the third. \nFamily businesses leaders experience a spectrum of challenges not experienced by leaders of other forms of business ownership: limitations to capital and talent\, succession planning\, business ownership\, family wealth transfer\, and more. \nOpportunities like the WMC Foundation Family Business Forum can extend the family business ownership to the next generation. I highly recommend active participation in this program to all family business stakeholders\, family and non-family leaders\, stockholders\, board members and others surrounding the family business. \nRusty Schieber\, Brakebush Brothers\, Inc.\nEVENT AGENDA \n2026 Program\nProgram subject to change \nWEDNESDAY \nApril 29 \nSession Sponsored By \n12:00PM \nLunch & Registration \n1:00PM \nOpening Remarks \n \nWade Goodsell \nPresident\, WMC Foundation \n1:15PM \nEstablishing Family Legacy Beyond Financial Success \nHow do families remain connected\, pass down shared values from one generation to the next\, and support a thriving family rather than just the family business?
