THE WOMEN IN FAMILY BUSINESS CONFERENCE XIV
by Leslie Dashew, Human Side of Enterprise
March 11-14, 2010 in Tuscon, Arizona
Family businesses are like planets or other celestial bodies that may or may not be in the same orbit. Syzygy occurs when three or more celestial bodies are aligned in the same gravitational system along a plane.
Similarly, when the components of family businesses, i.e. individuals, families and businesses are aligned, there is greater probability that harmony and prosperity exist. When any one of those “planets” falls out of alignment, everything is thrown out of balance and readjustment or realignment must occur.
To use another analogy: when your spine is out of adjustment, the body is unbalanced and pain can occur in all kinds of places! In family businesses, when the members are out of alignment, pain typically does occur all over the place!
Cars that are “out of alignment” ride poorly are inefficient and uncomfortable.
Need I say more?
Alignment is especially important in family businesses
- The vision of the future must be aligned among all of these parties
- The roles and strategies need to be aligned with the direction
- Expectations and performance need to be aligned to build trust
The 2010 WFB program will address
- How to tell if your systems are in alignment
- What to do to assure alignment
- How to deal with parties who are out of alignment
- And how to make sure you stay aligned within yourself.

THE GATHERING 2010 by Aspen Family Business Group
August 4-7, 2010 in Snowmass, Colorado
The Gathering can be a life changing experience. You’ll work with nationally and internationally recognized professionals, whose life's work is helping families in business grow and prosper.
Each day of The Gathering includes approximately four hours of seminars and workshops, all designed to encourage participant involvement and maximum exchange of ideas. Some sessions are general for all participants. Others are unique to the needs and interests of particular groups.
You will select the sessions you think will be most valuable to you. We provide a range of workshop topics designed to fit the specific interests of the people attending and then offer programs that fit those interests. You and others attending design The Gathering to fit your needs.
The Gathering has a definite informal tone and is designed so that attendees can take full advantage of the program, as well as enjoy the summertime beauty and wide range of attractions found in Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley. The activities range from the Aspen Music Festival, hiking, biking, fly fishing, rafting, horseback riding and hot air ballooning, to all the other things that make Aspen a highly-desirable destination resort.
There is nothing quite like The Aspen Family Business Gathering. We are proud to offer an interesting and fun learning environment, in which you and your family can learn and grow together. If you need more information prior to completing your registration, please call 866-442-7736 (866-44ASPEN) or email your questions.

Lane, Ph.D., Darrell Beck, Ph.D., CMC, Bill Roberts CLU, ChFC and Joe Paul—for the last 20 years has served as a resource to help families create an environment in which members are open and willing to learn and grow.

Our goal is for the family to develop harmonious, healthy, constructive interpersonal relationships and to maximize the success of their family-owned enterprise.
