Announcing the Family Office Rising Gen Leadership Institute
In a significant move to nurture future leadership within family offices, Tamarind Learning and the Larry Kraus Family Office Tax & Tech-NO-logy Institute have collaboratively introduced the Family Office Rising Gen Leadership Institute. This innovative platform is designed specifically for the next generation of leaders operating in family offices and family enterprises, providing a much-needed support system in today's evolving landscape.
Purpose and Structure of the Institute
The Family Office Rising Gen Leadership Institute is a
private, virtual forum that fosters a safe and confidential environment catered toward rising leaders. This initiative is especially pertinent as families today face increasing complexity and demands for effective stewardship and governance. With sponsorship from esteemed partners like Axiom Trust, HUB Private Client, and Heidrick & Struggles—who are also dedicated to the future of family office leadership—the Institute is well-placed to make a significant impact.
Phil Strassler, a key figure in the establishment of the Institute, emphasized the necessity for a dedicated space where emerging leaders can freely exchange ideas and learn from one another's experiences. He remarked,
“At a time when families are navigating complexity, transition, and rising leadership expectations, there is a tremendous need for a private forum where family office professionals and rising-generation leaders can learn from one another.” This focus on candid discussion and knowledge sharing is a cornerstone of the Institute's objectives.
Key Features of the Institute
Designed specifically for family offices contemplating the creation of their own entities, the Institute offers a range of resources and learning opportunities for leaders and executives within these organizations. Notably, the platform is exclusive to members;
consultants and commercial entities do not participate, ensuring privacy and trust in discussions. While no fees are charged for qualified participants, access to such a unique platform is invaluable.
Tamarind Learning will not only administer the Institute but also curate an enriching educational experience for its participants. The programming remains centered on relevant issues that emerging leaders often face, such as governance, decision-making, family dynamics, fostering a leadership identity, and long-term stewardship.
Leadership and Collaboration
The Institute will be guided by a Steering Committee made up of prominent thinkers and practitioners from the family office sector including notable names like Jen Richardson, Kathryn McCarthy, and others. Their collective experience and insights promise a rigorous framework for the learning agenda and peer interactions that this Institute aims to foster.
Kirby Rosplock, CEO of Tamarind Learning, underscores the dual responsibility of emerging leaders to inherit not just wealth, but also the importance of leading with purpose and accountability. She expressed,
“This Institute reflects the importance of preparing rising leaders not only to inherit wealth but also to lead with judgment, purpose, and responsibility.”
Conclusion and Next Steps
