Next Generation (NxG) provides access to a huge network of people who are the next generation of family business. Around two-thirds of current family CEOs are 50 years of age or older, while nearly 20% are 65 plus years of age. Despite this, only around a third of family businesses consider themselves exit or succession ready. A range of professional development and networking opportunities are available to NxG participants to further build leadership pathways to assist in creating a sustainable next generation of family business.

Events

Networking and professional development are great opportunities to connect with other family business NxGs; FBA events offer the opportunity for NxGs to expand their ‘circle of family business friends’ which can often only consist of family members.

Next Generation Mentoring Program

The mentor program fulfills a need for young members to ready themselves for a leadership role in the family business; it may even assist in determining whether this is in the best interests of the family, the business and the individual. Mentors are selected based on the needs of the mentee, however in all cases they are senior leaders of dynamic and large family businesses.
