Family Business Advising Certificate

I would like to thank the New York Family Business Center,  The board of directors felt it was important for me to gain knowledge in the family business field and provided me with the opportunity to obtain a Certificate in Family Business Advising by the Family Firm Institute. The certificate is presented to individuals who have achieved comprehensive professional knowledge and gained significant expertise that can be used as value to family business owners and family wealth clients. The Family Firm Institute (FFI) Certificate in Family Business Advising is designed to increase awareness and exposure to concepts, skills and knowledge necessary to optimize effectiveness as family business advisors and consultants.

“Through completion of the certificate program, Donna Herlihy (that's me) has gained a deeper understanding of the needs of family-owned enterprises and the many roles family business and non-family members play,” said Judy Green, Executive Director of the Family Firm Institute.

I  became Director of the Family Business Center in 2009. Our vision is to create an organization locally that offers education, resources and tools that will inform, strengthen and celebrate family-owned companies.  Our Center’s interactive workshops, roundtables and events , case studies, panel presentations, and educational forums provide NYFBC members access to contemporary solutions grounded in real-world experience.
