Peer Groups

Your trusted network for support and solutions.

Being part of a family business can feel isolating. Peer groups offer a space for members to connect, share experiences, and tackle common challenges together.

Led by professional facilitators, these confidential groups often become a trusted personal board of advisors, providing support and peer-to-peer learning.

To join a peer group, fill out the form at the link below, and our staff will be in touch.

Submissions are accepted year-round.
