The Family Business Alliance believes a healthy business makes for a healthy family. 

For 20 years, we've been a trusted source providing world class services and resources to support, strengthen and empower the family-owned businesses in our community. We provide educational programs, networking opportunities, tailored support and guidance for family owned business to address common issues unique to families running and growing a successful company.

Family Owned Businesses are important.

It is important work: family-owned businesses account for two-thirds of all businesses around the world, according to John Davis of Harvard Business School. Family businesses are a crucial piece in our regional economy and in the lives of their employees. Nearly 5.5 million businesses in the United States are family-owned and create a large work force that has a lower turnover rate than a non-family-run business. 

  • Generate 60% of our country's employment
  • Account for 50% of the U.S. workforce
  • More than 35% of fortune 500 companies are family owned
