Directors’ Insight
Our 18th Annual Family Business Awards & Expo was held on November 7th and was an outstanding celebration of the accomplishments of Central Ohio family businesses. The Expo was a unique way to meet other Center members and find out about their businesses. A great time was had by all! We would like to thank our sponsors for making the event possible: Business First, Fathom, First Merchants Bank, Gryphon Financial Partners, Taft/,
and White Castle.
With winter coming, we’d like to remind you of our adverse weather policy. We typically only cancel for a Level 2 or if the University shuts down. In the event that we do cancel a program, we will notify media outlets and will send an email notification to our members by 6 a.m. You can also check the event page on our website and ODU’s website.
We wish you and your families a very happy, healthy, and harmonious Thanksgiving.
Our best,
Dick & Jill
