This retreat was an eye opener for the steps that I need to take as a next gen in our family business. We've all been sitting around waiting for our Dad (the founder) to keep pushing forward on a smooth transition, but I found out at the retreat that this is our responsibility."

The Prairie Family Business NextGen retreat exceeded my already high expectations.

I made valuable connections with fellow family business operators, and the presented material and vendor sponsors offered insightful information that will benefit our business moving forward.

This was just the event I was looking for, but didn't know it!

Of being with like minded peers, as well as learning from experts and fellow members, this retreat was full of great ideas and a ton of encouragement!

The speakers were exceptional.

I and my two Next Gen’s really loved the whole experience and time together. Meeting and talking with the other family businesses was a breath of fresh air. Definitely not corporate America.
