TOPIC: “BUSINESS SUCCESSION PLANNING”Do you know how you are going to exit your business? You may have a dream of going public, selling to the highest bidder, or retiring and handing over your business legacy to your family.
Big dreams aside, the truth is that many small business owners have no exit strategy for their businesses in the event of their disability, retirement, or death. A business exit strategy not only means having a plan for the unexpected, it also means having a plan for the succession or transfer of ownership of your business when it comes time to hang up your hat and retire.Key points that participants will learn as a result of attending:1. Smart Goals2. How to Create a Transition Plan3. Effective Communication4. Action Steps

A NOTE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORIn June, I married Joe Van Alstine. He is the brother of a high school classmate of mine and we reconnected after 35 years. During that time, Joe was married, had three children and lost his wife (Lori) to cancer. I’ve never had children but now am happy to have Abby (26), Sam (23) and Anna (17) welcome me to their family. So, I’ll be tacking Van Alstine on to the end of my name . . . if you have the need for speed, just call me Lori.Best regards to all –Lori Dehlinger Van Alstine
