	"Since 1996, the Forums have given us hope, invaluable learnings and a place to share with others who have similar challenges and opportunities. Henry Landes was key in launching our regular Family Council meetings which include the 2nd and 3rd generation. I also want to credit Henry as the driving force behind the development of our outside board of directors. We value Chris's membership in a Next-Generation Learning Lab, as well as Henry's mentoring of our third-generation team." Don Rauch, President M&C Specialties Company, Southampton, PA
