Join us for an exclusive, first-of-its-kind gathering of the nation's leading family foundation CEOs - including special guest Carol Larson, President and CEO of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation - at this special retreat from November 12 to 14, 2012 at the Taaffe House in Los Altos Hills, CA.
Share strategies with other veteran family foundation CEOs for staying fresh and engaged in the work of the foundation while successfully navigating - and positively influencing - evolving family circumstances.

- Finding new challenges to counterbalance the sometimes repetitive nature of board meetings and grantmaking cycles
- Designing and ensuring successful board meetings and practices
- Handling board leadership transitions – both expected and unexpected (including the death of the donor)
