Empowering family and private business to unlock their full potential.

The Family Business Alliance began in 1997 as the Family Business Forum at the William G. McGowan School of Business at King’s College. What started with a small group of advisors quickly grew as more family businesses joined from across a wide range of industries.

 

In 2012, the Forum moved to Wilkes University and became the Family Business Alliance.

 

Today, the Alliance continues to grow regionally, bringing together privately held and family-owned businesses.

While our reach has expanded, our mission remains the same:

to educate, support, and connect the locally owned businesses that form the backbone of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s economy and community.
