Family Governance

Family Governance

Successful families have a strong sense of trust for each other.  This is developed through healthy communication, establishing well-defined roles, and preparing the next generation for wealth transitions.  Families often start with the question, what are the possibilities for us as a family?  The answers can inspire and strengthen the bonds across generations. 

 

Confluence can assist your family with the structure required to unite older and newer generations, encouraging regular family assemblies, the creation of a family council, and the development of a family constitution. 

​

Typical issues addressed by a family governance framework include:

​

  • The roles, rights, and responsibilities of family members

  • A system regulating the appropriate inclusion of the family in business discussions

  • The formation of a "family council" to oversee strategic decision-making for the business and strengthen business-to-family communication

  • The creation of family employment, development, and compensation policies

  • The formalization of business relationships between family members

  • A mechanism to sell ownership interests

  • A succession process for leaders

  • Dividend and distribution policies

​

​Many of these policies are often memorialized in the form of a family constitution, a document created by the family council and approved by the broader family at a family assembly.
