NEW!!!!!  Multi-Disciplinary Advisor's Course 

This workshop will teach advisors how to avoid giving advice that conflicts with counsel from advisors in other fields while learning to build and function within a team. The fundamental principles of knowing when and how to build multi-disciplinary advising teams that benefit both their clients and their business will be discussed. Advisors will explore the dynamics associated with working as part of a multi-disciplinary team and learn how to apply the concepts to work more effectively with their business family clients. They will also gain an appreciation of how biases and assumptions around other disciplines can impact their work.

This project is funded in part through the Agricultural Management Institute (AMI). The AMI is part of the Best Practices Suite of programs for Growing Forward, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative.
