We have worked together in business with family members— including children, spouses, and granchildren—for close to thirty years. The challenges and situations that arise for people who work together in a closely held company are unique. Our intent was to create a forum that addressed these issues.” —Maryann Carroll-Guthrie ’72, M.A. ’76 President, King Harbor Marina Redondo Beach, California
