The SPGC Conversation Series, co-hosted with our affiliate, will feature a special webinar on Regional Familiness.
Join us for an engaging discussion with Dr. Rodrigo Basco (American University of Sharjah, UAE), Win Irwin (Irwin Seating Company, USA), and Ana Gonzalez, Ph.D. (Grand Valley State University, USA), as we explore how family businesses deeply embedded in their regions shape economic, social, and institutional outcomes.
Dr. Basco and Dr. Ana Gonzalez will share the academic perspective, presenting his concept of Regional Familiness, while Win Irwin will bring the practice perspective, drawing from real-world examples and experience. Together, they will highlight the critical role family firms play in strengthening regional economies and communities.
This conversation will bridge research and practice to create greater awareness of the importance and impact of family businesses in their regions.
