The Stevens Center for Family Business, part of the Scott L. Carmona College of Business at Saginaw Valley State University, provides a wealth of opportunities and resources for family business owners/leaders to leverage the strengths inherent in their enterprise, and to successfully confront – or even head off -- issues that may arise. Using national experts as well as local business leaders, the SCFB provides major events, networking opportunities, peer groups, sponsor workshops, and many other activities and resources whereby members can learn about family business best practices and consider how to best apply them at their own company.
"It's so good to know that others in family business have some of the same problems and challenges that I have. Before I got involved with the SCFB, I thought I was the only one."
Membership in the Stevens Center for Family Business gives participants a wealth of powerful resources to help manage the unique challenges - and celebrate the unique joys - of owning and operating a family business! Members benefit from the collective wisdom of successful business owners and professionals in an atmosphere that encourages open discussion and exchange of ideas.
