FBC LEADERSHIP: MESSAGE TO OUR MEMBERS
Dear Members,

This time of year usually brings a flurry of activity, including the 2021 planning efforts of FBC staff and volunteers. As such, normally we would be touting our Holiday events, programs, and, of course, the organization’s signature event, the Generations Conference. But something else was planned for this year and we have all been forced to adjust course. 

In reaction to the social isolation and economic shutdown which began in March, we are so proud that our programming team immediately responded with relevant information that paved the way for reassurance, calm, and progress...

THANK YOU TO OUR DEDICATED BOARD & COMMITTEE MEMBERS
What a year it’s been! We could not have made it through without the support of our entire volunteer Board of Directors, Programs + Events Committee, Membership Committee, and Generations Committee. Who are these volunteer champions who give extra time and resources to help our family business members?

WE ARE #FAMILYBUSINESSSTRONG
We are grateful to our members for their support and we are excited to highlight some of the “feel good” stories we shared this year on our social media channels.
If you have news, stories or updates to share, please let us know and we will help spread the word. SHARE YOUR NEWS
2020 IN REVIEW
If this year taught us anything, it’s that we CAN adapt. When our members needed us most, we went virtual with all of our events. It wasn't easy, but it was necessary. Team FBC, along with our committee and board members, worked quickly and thoughtfully to produce over 20 online events, from PPP and Estate Planning to even sushi making.

A LOOK BACK AT 2020 IN PHOTOS
As we say goodbye to 2020, a year we may want to forget, we can take a moment to be grateful and smile, for our wonderful community here at FBC. Enjoy a look back at 2020 in photos.
