The Center for Family Business at Penn State Behrend will host a two-day conference on Entrepreneurship on May 15-16. The program will include sessions on succession planning, board creation, minority-led businesses and other topics.

The Center for Family Business is an outreach effort of Behrend’s Black School of Business. The center hosts forums led by experts in the field and focused on the unique needs of family-run businesses, from the pressure to hire and retain family members to informal, and often inherited, organizational structures. Members have access to Black School faculty experts, student researchers and peer groups that meet to discuss common issues and concerns.
