Family Business Center
Welcome
The Family Business Center is dedicated to equipping, training and connecting family-owned businesses in the Southern California region.
About Us
The Family Business Center is affiliated with the Dr. Robert K. Jabs School of Business at California Baptist University. The director, Dr. Keanon Alderson, founded the family business studies concentration at CBU so that students are more prepared to add value to their family business and develop into eventual successors.
Dr. Keanon Alderson is available to discuss the experiences in your family business and whether membership in the Family Business Center may be right for you.
Helping Family Businesses Thrive
With over 17 years as a second-generation family business working in my family business, I'm very familiar with the benefits and challenges that come with the territory. Because of this experience, my passion is to help family businesses thrive. I've written numerous articles about family dynamics, conflict mitigation, and family business governance. When not teaching classes, I perform research on family-owned businesses, provide workshops and seminars, and advise family firms.
