UNC Asheville's Family Business Forum to Host Talk on
Non-Family Employees
UNC Asheville’s Family Business Forum will host two
workshops on “Working for a Family Business: A Non-Family Employee’s
Guide to Success” from 9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 29, in UNC
Asheville’s Reuter Center. Chris Eckrich, award-winning family business
consultant, will conduct the workshops. Lunch will be served between the
two sessions.
The morning workshop will focus on issues
concerning non-family employees from the family business owner’s
perspective, while the afternoon workshop will concentrate on topics
related to non-family employees working in a family business.
Participants will receive a copy of Eckrich’s book “Working for a Family
Business: A Non-Family Employee’s Guide to Success.”
Eckrich, who holds a doctorate from Purdue
University, has served as a faculty member at the University of Notre
Dame and is a founding advisor to The Family Business Center at the
University of Saint Frances. He is a principal in The Family Business
Consulting Group and received the Family Firm Institute’s Outstanding
