The UNH Center for Family Business will discuss women and their success in
family businesses at its next event Thursday, April 17, 2008.
"Why Are Women So Successful in the Family Business?” will be held
at The Yard Restaurant, 1211 S. Mammoth Road, Manchester. The program begins
at 8 a.m. and includes a full buffet breakfast and a networking lunch.
“Nearly 60 percent of all firms today have women in top management,
and 30 percent of family businesses may soon have a female successor. Women
act as advisors whether they cross the family business threshold or not. Even
if women don’t work in your family business they might someday soon,” said
Barbara Draper, director of the Center for Family Business.
The presentation will encompass the multi-dimensional challenges and concerns
of women in family business:
- The individual, family and performance dynamics that affect women and men.
- Techniques to become more effective in managing and governing.
- How women aspire to success and achievement through relationships.
- The strengths and challenges of women.
The panelists are:
Cynthia Adams Harrison, an associate at Thomas D. Davidow & Associates.
She specializes in enhancing business and team performance, including women’s
performance within family businesses.
Patricia Annino, a nationally recognized authority on estate planning and
taxation. The author of “Women & Money, A Practical Guide to Estate
Planning,” she speaks nationally about women’s issues regarding
money and family owned businesses.
Thomas Davidow, principal and founder of Thomas D. Davidow & Associates.
He has spent 25 years addressing family issues that can interfere with sound
business decisions.

is a special one-time, nonmember registration fee of $99 per person or $250
