Leading Family Firms

Thank you for your interest in Leading Family Firms. This program is currently in development. If you are interested in a program of this nature and would like to be updated as more information becomes available, please email Robin Sieben, Associate Director of Programs, at sieben_robin@gsb.stanford.edu

You might also be interested in the following programs that are currently available: The Stanford Executive Program, Executive Program for Growing Companies, Executive Program in Strategy and Organizations, or Executive Program in Leadership

 

Who Should Attend

Participation in this program is limited on account of the high level of participant/faculty interaction. Specifically, we are seeking companies:

  • In which members of one family are significant shareholders
  • In which at least one family member is active in top management or the board
  • That have substantial assets and/or widely distributed operations

If your firm does not meet this description, we encourage you to contact the Program Manager to determine your eligibility. In addition, please note that the program is not appropriate for founder-owned businesses that do not have other family members in executive or board positions.

For companies that meet the program’s eligibility requirements, application is open to family members involved in any aspect of the firm, including board members, top executives, future company leaders, significant shareholders, family foundation managers, and spouses of key decision makers. Senior executives and board members from outside the family who actively participate in the business are also invited to apply.

In addition to completing an application form, each applicant must demonstrate proficiency in written and spoken English and have a confidential recommendation submitted on their behalf by a superior manager within the family firm. For board members, a recommendation from another board member or an advisory board member is acceptable. There is no exception to these requirements.



Program dates, fees, and faculty are subject to change. If a program is cancelled, Stanford will refund the program tuition in full but is not responsible for travel, accommodations or other expenses incurred by the participant.
