Round Table
Mergers & Acquisitions: Selling? Growing? Tools for Family Business Owners
January 23, 2018 – 8:00-10:00 a.m.
Griffin Student Center – Room 276
1215 Sunbury Rd., Columbus, OH 43219
Join us for a two-hour discussion on mergers and acquisitions with Michael Shaw of Copper Run Capital, Josh Cochran of KeyBank, and Nicholas Ulrich of Tri-W Group.
Although we encourage and hope that Family Businesses will transition to their next generation, we know that sometimes is just not feasible. The “sell side” of the program will cover:
- Options
- Case Study involving Letters of Intent
- Buyer Pools
- Market Update/Valuations
Often, Family Businesses want to grow their business through acquisitions, but don’t know how. The “buy side”of the program will cover:
- Case Studies
- Growth through Acquisitions
- Process
- Financing
- DIY Strategies
- Recommendations
Sign up today — RSVP to Amy Dotts at ADotts@FamilyBusinessCenter.com or 614-253-4820. The program is free for Conway Center members and $35 for non-members. Family Business leaders attending for the first time may attend as our guest.

Directors’ Insight: January
|
It’s a new year and we are very excited to be celebrating our 20th Anniversary in 2018! Will you please join us at our Celebration and Family Business Hall of Fame on the evening of May 4th? Details coming soon!
As we reflect on the past year – and look forward to the new – we want to thank our returning Family Business members for their trust in us to deliver quality and relevant programs and to our Service Providers for continuing to support our mission with their time, expertise, and treasure.
Also, thank you to those members who gave voluntary dues. We want to especially thank Huntington Bank and Morgan Stanley for providing additional – and much needed – funding for 2018. This is going to be a great year and we are honored and grateful that you are here to share it with us!
Our best,
Dick & Jill
