The University of Toledo Center for Family & Privately Held Business will host its annual recognition celebration Tuesday, Nov. 18, at the Toledo Club.
Riegsecker
“We invited Riegsecker because he is a northwest Ohio native who has made remarkable achievements as a young entrepreneur,” Debbe Skutch, director of the Center for Family & Privately Held Business, said. “For instance, his company, Centro, has been named the best place to work four years in a row by Crain’s, which is unheard of.”
Centro is an ad network and technology company based in Chicago. A privately held company, it was founded on the idea that the happiness of its employees is the best metric of a successful company.
The free, public event will cover:
• The Importance of company culture;
• Entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial spirit;
• Attracting, training and retaining talented people;
• Community commitment;
• Health and well-being of employees and work/life blend;
• The importance of innovation and managing chance; and
• Mission and vision.
“It’s our hope to reach out to those in the community who are entrepreneurs and to millennials who wish to start their own business, and give them a different and fresh perspective to company culture,” Skutch said.
Networking will start at 5:30 p.m. with the program following at 6 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public, but seats are limited and registration is required at utfamilybusiness.org.
