Join us for the Fort Worth Chamber's Chamber Confidential, presented by Fidelity Investments, an exclusive, members-only luncheon designed to deliver the insights you can't get anywhere else. Each month, we bring you early access to hyper-local intelligence, timely updates, and behind-the-scenes conversations shaping Fort Worth's business community.
This month's luncheon is focused on what it takes to build a business that outlasts its founders. On November 5th, we are joined by the Los Vaqueros team for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation. They will take us back through their history: how they started, what it took to grow, and the lessons learned through each expansion along the way. Then they will turn to the question many business owners put off for too long: what comes next? You will hear how the Los Vaqueros team is approaching succession planning right now, in real time, including the decisions, the tradeoffs, and the conversations that are not always easy to have.
After their story, a panel of experts will join them on stage. Each brings a different perspective to the succession planning conversation, from the financial and legal considerations to the personal and operational realities of handing over the keys. Expect an open discussion and practical takeaways you can use whether your business is ten years old or fifty, whether you plan to pass it to family, sell it, or hand it to your team, and whether you are thinking about the transition now or just starting to wonder.
Come hungry. Come curious. Leave with a clearer picture of what a thoughtful transition can look like and the confidence to start planning your own.
Whether you're a small business owner, entrepreneur, or business leader, you'll leave with actionable takeaways to strengthen your business today and plan confidently for what's ahead.
