Do you know what the next generation’s aspirations are?
Would you like to learn how to create a strong foundation for communicating around succession and transfer planning?

Speakers
Kelly Sidoryk, Holistic Management Certified Educator
Kelly has been involved with Holistic Management for close to 25 years. She became an HMI Certified Educator in the late 1980s and has taught a number of courses and has worked with many family producers and management groups. One area of focus for Kelly has been the “human” piece, particularly in the area of succession planning as many operations and teams work through the process of transitioning to the next generation. Kelly is in the process of working through the third transfer of assets and management for the family business, now having the opportunity to experience from the side of the “older” generation.
