Behind every iconic celebration is a family building something to last.

"Just pay family employees what you'd pay anyone else for the role."

It sounds fair. It misses a lot.

Family employees are on the clock at Sunday dinners. They carry the weight of family values. And the right one is hard to replace.

Most #familybusiness #succession plans fail for the same reason: They plan for management transition but not ownership transition—or vice versa.

Many of the families we serve have a grandfather who didn't come home, an uncle whose military photograph still sits on a mantel, or a sibling remembered each year at the Thanksgiving table.

This #MemorialDay, we honor the fallen and the families who carry their memory forward.
