Friday, January 20^th the Next Generation group held a mini retreat at the Hope Lake Lodge (Greek Peak).  The Krygers, the family behind this incredible resort, were very generous and supplied a beautiful conference room and a delicious continental breakfast.  

2011 ended with the group not meeting in November and December, therefore, the first hour or so was spent with catching up with their businesses and even personal lives.  After the break The Leading Element, Katie Doucette, Susan Burgess & Michael D’Eredita facilitated a session in discussing possible concerns and the successes in the transition of leading their family business.  Each attendee had insights and anecdotes to share with the others.  The bond that this group shares is somewhat unique as they are all from different industries but their commonality is family.  Each time they meet they walk away with something they can use personally or professionally.  In family business the line between personal and profession usually isn’t too thick, and sometimes can be blurred.

This particular group has been meeting for over a year now, frequently new members enter the group and are immediatly welcomed and it is exciting to watch them begin to do business together and offer ideas and suggestions not only with the family dynamics but sometimes with business situations also.

I look forward to 2012 and playing my small role in bringing this group together monthly.
