Clarify Mission, Vision, and Values; develop family governance; complete analysis to identify family legacy and social legacy opportunities.

Protect

Collaborate with existing advisor teams to ensure all strategies, tools, processes, and documents are in place to protect the family and their business enterprise.

Foster a greater sense of responsibility by giving back; use leadership role to become a steward of the community in such a manner that aligns with the family's mission, vision, and values.
