FEA – Community Call: FEA Principles of Practice
May 18, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT
As the FEA community reaches nearly 500 practitioners in its first decade of existence, it becomes necessary to reflect not only upon our beneficial array of differences, but also upon the common principles that bind us together in service of family enterprise.
The FEA Institute Committee of the Board has been tasked with building on earlier work to support our community’s evolution and to explore and codify the shared aspirations for each of us who proudly hold the FEA designation.
Sharing our working draft for FEA Principles of Practice with all of you is an essential component of our process to ensure resonance and to listen to your views as we refine these Principles, seek Board approval, and ultimately adopt among every member of our growing community of professionals.
Your views matter! Please read the brief two-page draft (coming soon to your inbox!) and join David R. Smith who will be leading the Community Call on behalf of his colleagues on the FEA Institute Committee.
