Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To promote family businesses and their job growth in America.

Conduct non-partisan research that highlights the contributions of family enterprise to the
American economy and the challenges these businesses face.

Educate legislators, policymakers, and the public on the important role of family businesses in the economy and local communities.

Present non-partisan intelligence, research, and information on the economic impact family businesses have on the US economy and job growth.

Represent all American family business; not just specific industries and provide research to enhance the opportunity for success.

Support the work of Family Business Centers across the country.

Conduct Annual Family Business Survey to determine the challenges and concerns of family businesses and present to members of Congress, academics, media legislators, business owners, trade associations and others.

Distribute survey information collected and research on family businesses to family business and family office groups as well as trade associations so they may advocate for the issues and concerns of family businesses.

Develop and keep current, a well-designed website that provides family business news, issues, and announcements as well as various resources, company information, and an uncomplicated user interface experience.

Maintain a dominant social media presence on Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Publish posts, articles, and online messaging to advocate for family businesses, communicating our target messages including reducing over-regulation, reducing or repealing the estate tax, simplifying tax code, reducing income tax, reducing capital gains tax, reducing the federal deficit, and federal trade policies.

Conduct webinars and meetings to keep FEUSA members and others updated and informed on the latest family business market trends and legislation.

Administer research to provide insights on family businesses in the US to provide decision-makers, regulators, and legislators with data, scientific arguments, and justifications to craft policy and take measures to help family businesses continue to grow and add jobs.
