FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Tim Ash, CEO of Ash Brokerage, will be the featured speaker at the University of Saint Francis Family Business Initiative on March 14 at the Historic Woman’s Club, 402 W. Wayne St.
Ash will talk about his vision for the future of Ash Brokerage, as well as strategies for maintaining the health of a family-owned enterprise. He will also take part in a question-and-answer session.
What does it take to start, grow and maintain a successful family-owned business? Typically, more than 50 percent of private businesses are family owned, which can be an asset or a liability, depending on management. Ash’s insight will be valuable to business owners and potential business owners.
