The Capital Region Family Business Center

Tax laws change quickly – but understanding what actually impacts your family business is what matters most.

One year after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, what provisions are still in place? What surprised business owners the most? And what should you be planning for now?

Join Jim Clarke of Weintraub Tobin and Chris Allen of BFBA for a practical, real-world discussion designed specifically for family business leaders and decision-makers.

This is a great opportunity to gain insight, ask questions, and stay ahead of changes that could affect your business and long-term planning.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and reflective Memorial Day.
