Legacy Leadership Program
Mission Statement
“Create your legacy, and pass the baton.” — Billie Jean King
Sustaining and protecting generational wealth can be challenging. The CIE Legacy Leadership Program is designed to serve as an empowering resource for family-owned businesses in the state of Mississippi and throughout the Southeast region. Through various programs, family business owners, leaders and employees from a myriad of industries can share their experiences to inspire, to learn, and to connect with other family businesses.
“Tradition is like a bow. The more we stretch the bowstring, the farther we can throw the arrows of modernity and innovation.” — Giovanni Ferrero, third-generation CEO of Italian chocolate maker Ferrero International SA (Wall Street Journal, Aug. 9, 2016).
Programs
