Why Join the Young Alum Forum?
For those in family business, peer groups can be a highly effective means of vetting ideas, seeking confidentiality and bench-marking their business against others. A well-formed peer group is assembled with careful detail to ensure that all have something to contribute as well as take away from each meeting.
The Young Alum Forum combines the expertise of the SFBI team, access to Cornell faculty, and the Cornell global alumni network. Forums will be carefully curated and formed. Each forum will be unique to its constituent members, and areas of growth and exploration will be driven by the members.
