How GRCA serves
family-owned businesses
By Julie Larison, Director of Membership Services
D
o you or a member of your family own a business? Familyowned businesses are the single largest job creators in
the nation's economy, employing 60 percent of the U.S.
workforce and contributing up to 78 percent of all new jobs created.
Privately held businesses represent the majority of Berks Countybased businesses, as well as a large group of Chamber membership.
The Berks Family Business Alliance (FBA) is a non-dues
membership program established by the Greater Reading Chamber
Alliance (GRCA) and key community leaders to meet the specific
needs of family-owned businesses of all sizes. FBA is designed to
support family-owned businesses with unique programming and
the resources necessary to prepare their business for generations of
success by offering:
* Workshops & Forums
* Peer Group Discussion Groups
* Spring Symposium
* All in the Family Gatherings
* Subject Matter Experts
More about Peer Discussion Groups
Facilitated by professionals in their field, the FBA Peer Discussion
Group Program is a great way to gather with your peers, share
common problems and experiences, and to learn how to deal with
your unique situations facing your family business. The program
accommodates one participant per group from each industry
segment to avoid competitive concerns. To promote camaraderie
and trust, enrollment is designed for a designated individual and
limited to Chamber members. Peer groups meet a minimum of
eight to 10 times per year, with an annual participation fee of $400.

"I've found my FBA Peer group to be a positive experience that
I look forward to each month," says Mike Duddy of WORLD
Electronics. "Chet Mosteller is a wonderful moderator/leader who
brings energy and wisdom to each meeting. All in my group share
similar experiences and goals (business and otherwise) and we can
discuss any topic in an unbiased, confidential setting. My peers have
become my friends."
