Building Your Business: Legacy Planning + the Next Generation
Original air date, May 14, 2020

Translate those skills to your firms: strong in infrastructure, robust in execution and dynamic in approach. Join NOMA member and small firm founder and owner Ibrahim Greenidge, BOLT Architecture, as he moderates a conversation about where to start on succession planning for your business. This will be a multipart series to help breakdown the process for NOMA members.
