ABOUT THE EVENT

The Family Owned Business Awards program honors family businesses that make up the backbone of the American economy. From small, boutique operations to large multi-generational firms, these entrepreneurial families are building business legacies that will last for generations to come. More than two thirds of privately held businesses in the U.S. are family-owned firms. The Business Journal will be celebrating the family-owned businesses that are successful, growing and moving America forward. Honorees will be profiled in The Business Journal and invited to an Exclusive Honorees Reception. Participating in this program as a sponsor of any level gives your company a unique and unparalleled opportunity to build brand awareness, expand your network and generate leads at a C-level with a B2B audience. All levels of sponsorship include tickets to the Exclusive Honorees Reception, which gives your team the opportunity to build relationships with honorees and other business owners. Higher level sponsors also have the opportunity to give awards that will be filmed/broadcasted on KMPH.

WHO SHOULD APPLY?

Companies must be headquartered in the Central Valley (Fresno, Kings, Madera, Tulare). • Companies must be a multi-generational family-owned and operated business (two generations or greater.) • Applicants must provide detailed and tangible accounts about the strategy, vision, growth and lasting legacy of the family business.
