Documentation
Good governance is provided through documents which give the business family:
- definition (identity)
- direction (where are we going?)
- discipline (how do we get there?)
These documents make up the family charter, just as the business has its Bylaws. Which of the following do you have? Which do you need? Which need updating? We will guide you through the process!

□ Family Mission Statement

□ Family Director Policy
