The first meeting will be held on Thursday, February 25. It will be an overview of succession planning and an introduction to the steps needed to complete a plan. This meeting will be open to anyone with unlimited participation. The 4 in-depth meetings in the series will follow on Tuesday evenings of March 8, 15, 22, and 29. The teams that complete the series will be given the instruction to successfully finalize and complete their plan. The topics of these meetings will include: • • • • Communications and Building the Team Financial Considerations and Resources Visioning and Goal Setting for a Successful Plan Legal Considerations and Arrangements for a Successful Succession. All meetings will start at 6:30 p.m., end around 8:30 p.m. and will include materials, food and drinks. There Are 2 Options for Participation. Option 1: Attend only the Introduction to Farm/Ranch Succession meeting (Feb. 25) at a cost of $10/person. There are no limits or qualifications for attendance. Option 2: Enroll as a team in the entire series. The minimum number of people on a team is 2 and there must be at least 1 representative from the current generation that is owner/operator and at least 1 representative from the next generation that will be owner/operator. While there is no limit to the number of people on a team, more than 8 could become cumbersome.
