Family Business Forum will feature
Adam Goodman with Goodman Interiors

The Pakis Center for Business Philanthropy is proud to present the 10th installment in the Family Business Forum. Hear from Adam Goodman, third-generation President of Goodman Interiors, as he shares his journey from disinterested in business to leading one of the Valley's most dynamic family-owned companies. Leslie Dashew, family business advisor, will serve as the moderator.
