The second and third position winners were University of Northern Iowa and Wake Forest University, respectively.
“This year’s first Family Business Center Challenge is a great way for family business centers to participate in helping Family Enterprise USA gauge the critical issues facing America’s family-owned businesses through its Annual Family Business Survey,” said John Gugliada, Director of Engagement, Family Enterprise USA and Family Enterprise USA Action. “We congratulate the winners and look forward to making next year’s challenge equally rewarding for family business centers.”
