To help with this transition, we’ve developed a year-long program, The Legacy Council, for select entrepreneurs who have either exited their companies or are near the exit stage. The program focuses on the next phase of the entrepreneurial journey: switching from success to significance, from the business to the person and how they want to be remembered.

The Legacy Council program has three key components:

Kickoff retreat — Held at Big Rock Valley, the foundation’s 2,000-acre learning campus in southwest Michigan, the retreat spans three days. A facilitator helps participants define what they want their legacy to be and then draft a plan to realize this vision.

Quarterly roundtables — Held virtually, three peer-learning sessions enable participants to share progress toward their goals.

Monthly check-in calls — A member of the foundation’s leadership team conducts individual calls with participants to provide additional support as they work toward their legacy goals.

Cost: $1,200 per participant, which helps cover facilitation, meals and overnight lodgings.
