Task

Each year we plan 3 - 4 events on one big topic. In 2014 we hosted 3 Legacy Series events at which we covered topics of passing business and family values, engaging next generation, transferring business wealth, learning to let go (retire), etc. 

In 2015/2016 we would like to cover 2 topics - Governance and Succession. Governance will cover family constitution, business and family governance structures, succession will talk about identifying next generation leaders, management and ownership succession planning, leadership development etc.

We are looking for a creative one-liner name for our 2015/16 series, something easy to market and remember and attractive to both incumbent and next generation family business owners and manager.
