At its most recent Board of Directors conference call, Attorneys for Family-Held Enterprises (“AFHE”) elected Michael D. Whitty (of Freeborn & Peters LLP in Chicago, IL), previously its Vice-President and Treasurer, as President of the organization.
I would like to thank our outgoing president, Andrew Karlen, for his leadership, commitment, and tenacity during his tenure, during which AFHE faced three major challenges, the most recent being having to cancel our 2020 Annual Conference due to the COVID-19 breakout.
