CAFE - www.cafecanada.ca/ottawa/
The Canadian Association of Family Enterprise is a not-for-profit national organization established in 1983, dedicated to promoting the well-being and understanding of families in business. There are CAFE Chapters within most major business regions, stretching from the coast of Vancouver Island to the coast of Nova Scotia.
CAFE offers an outsider's perspective and an insider's understanding of family business. CAFE's objective is to educate, inform and encourage its members in areas of unique interest to family business, through a stimulating program of activities that provide the best sources of information and professional advice available.
Interested in learning more about the dynamics of family business and how the Canadian economy is affected? Do you operate or have shares in or work in a family business? Are you a President or CEO of a family business and tend to act in isolation without adequate support? Have questions but don't know where to turn? CAFE can help.
CAFE has become a powerful resource for families wanting to overcome these challenges and beat the odds. The statistics are clear - 70 percent of family businesses do not survive the transition to a second generation; 90 percent do not make it to a third generation.
By visiting our web site you can access information on CAFE that is national in scope, such as history, national programs and resources available, or information that is specific to the individual Chapters, such as a calendar of events, Chapter newsletter and Chapter programs.
