EPISODE 3 - WHAT IS A FAMILY CHARTER?

The Family Charter is the cornerstone or foundation document of a family governance system. It is the bedrock on which everything else is built.

It is also known as a Family Constitution or agreement. It is the main document that the family use to outline their values and vision for the family business. 

Whilst rare they are gaining recognition and being adopted by many families. In this episode Russ explores why they are useful and how to get started with your own.

Episode 4 - The Family Council

Family Councils create a bridge between the business family and the family business board. In this episode Russ explains what a Family Council is, what roles and responsibilities it has and how you would typically elect its members.

Russ also covers the important role of the Chair, the skills they are likely to need and the way in which the Family Council interacts with the business and the family. 

EPISODE 5: what is a family assembly? 

Continuing our look at Family Governance, in this episode Russ discusses the Family Assembly, or retreat/meeting: what they are, who attends and what subjects are covered, along with some hints and tips as to how to get your own family meetings up and running.

We also look at the interaction between a family assembly, a family council and the family charter and provide a reminder of the key benefits of family governance.
