For over 25 years, the Kansas Family Business Forum has been a great organization
for meeting other family businesses. There is a sense of belonging to a greater community,
of sharing similar values and beliefs and of continued learning from professionals
for the well-being of our family business.

"No matter what Family Business issue that we are confronting at Star, we know that
others have already addressed similar situations in their own businesses. Thanks to
KFBF, we have the forum to interact and learn from quality Grantors and other experienced
business owners who already dealt with the similar issues."
- Chris Goebel, Star Lumber
"KFBF is an important resource for our family business by providing education, resources
and networking on risk management, human resource management, strategic planning and
succession. These issues are imperative in any business at any time, but especially
now. We must find the resolve to endure and the strength to thrive!"
- Walter Berry, Berry Companies Inc.
