Mike says...

“I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the UNI Family Business Center and their member companies. Iowa is home to so many wonderful family businesses of all backgrounds and sizes. However, the complexities and opportunities that exist within these businesses are ironically quite similar. The UNI Family Business Center does a wonderful job of bringing these businesses together with valuable content and opportunity for collaboration for the benefit of generations of families to come.”
