Family Enterprise USA's Pat Soldano and Orange County Community Foundation's Shelly Hoss Lead Discussion on Family Business Approaches
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, April 12, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- California State University, Fullerton's (CSUF) Center for Family Business is holding a workshop on“Leveraging the Power of Advocacy and Philanthropy for Family Business Success” on April 23.
The event, held in the university's Scott O'Brien Innovation Center from 8Am to 10AM, features Pat Soldano, President, Family Enterprise USA , and Shelley Hoss, Chief Executive Officer, Orange County Community Foundation. The CSUF workshop is hosted by Tim Schultz, Director, CSUF's Center for Family Business.
The two-hour discussion is focused on the relationship between effective advocacy for family businesses and how it creates impactful philanthropy in local communities.
“There is a direct link between successful family businesses and strong local philanthropy programs,” said Soldano about the topic.“Our most recent survey shows of all contributions by family businesses half go directly to local charities,” she said.“If family businesses are weakened by poor policies, local giving is also weakened.”
Family businesses are the largest private employers in the country , accounting for 83.3 million jobs, or 59 percent of the country's private workforce, according to research. America's family-owned businesses contribute $7.7 trillion annually to the U.S. gross domestic product.
Hoss, who leads the Orange County Community Foundation, and Soldano will discuss how philanthropy is a key part of family business success and is often core to business strategies and missions.
