A reflection on the traits and capacities of family elders and their role in family governance
The International Family Offices Journal
Vol. 5 - Iss. 3 pp. 17–20
Mar 2021
The role of elders is based on continuing reflections by James E (Jay) Hughes of Aspen Colorado about the role of elders in family governance. The first part, identifying elders, was in the June 2019 issue. Here, in his inimitable, thoughtful style he proposes that the elders can play substantial roles as mediators, as trustees, as 'elders' in a family. We thank Jay for this thoughtful addition to the literature.
