Universal Eligibility
Unlike other family business organizations, there is not cost to participate. Our mission is simple - we exist to serve family businesses. We would not turn away those family businesses that need us the most.
We also recognize that definitions of family business are as diverse as our families themselves. Unlike some family business organizations, we do not limit our definition of family business by generation or size.
The Catholic University’s Family Business Consortium accepts all businesses that identify as family businesses. Whether your business has passed to the family’s third generation, or you are in the first, we recognize that we share common challenges and experiences. What unites us is our focus on family.
