Donor Appreciation Luncheon

Each year, the UToledo Family Business Center recognizes the individuals and organizations whose generosity helps make our work possible. This special luncheon is our opportunity to thank our Friends of the Center, major donors, and philanthropic partners for their investment in the Center's mission and the regional family business community. Guests will enjoy lunch, hear updates on the Center's impact and future initiatives, and gain insights from our featured speaker, John Lowe, former CEO of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams and longtime board member of White Castle. Drawing from his experience leading high-growth companies and advising entrepreneurial and family-owned businesses, John will share lessons on leadership, governance, growth, and building organizations that endure. This event is by invitation only and is reserved for Friends of the Center donors and individuals who have made significant philanthropic contributions to the UToledo Family Business Center during the past year.
