On Wednesday, May 9, 2018, the Faces of Family Businesses – a special advertising section in Boston magazine’s May “Power” issue – came to life at a beautiful event hosted by Top of the Hub’s Skywalk Observatory. The evening featured a behind the scenes look at the leading family-owned businesses in and around Boston, and celebrated the passion and dedication of local business owners. An informative and entertaining panel discussion, moderated by Ted Clark, Director of the Northeastern University Center for Family Business, offered personal stories from Danny Paisner of ScrubaDub Auto Wash Centers, David Lipson of Boston magazine, David Lombardo of Lombardo’s, and Kara Dunlevy of New England Label. Guests enjoyed custom cocktails from Absolut Elyx, and wine from Barton & Guestier, along with a bountiful spread of delicious food from Top of the Hub. Entertainment Specialists provided a vibrant live violinist and DJ, and upon departure, all party-goers received a gift from Jarvis Appliance.
