Family Business Alliance Ambassadors are volunteers for FBA who are committed to helping members get the most out of their membership. They are all individuals who have been very involved with the organization and have used resources and programs to help strengthen their businesses and families. Ambassadors are available as a resource to our members for any questions they may have from a member’s perspective.
Randy Boss is one of FBA’s committed ambassadors serving the family business community on his own time. Get to know Randy with his answers to our questionnaire below.
How did you first get involved in FBA?
It was recommended to me by a friend who also owns a family business in West Michigan
Why is FBA important to you?
It allows me an opportunity to learn from other family-owned businesses and give back what I have learned working in my own family business.
What has been your favorite FBA event? I enjoy the annual update, hearing from a well-known speaker as well as from local family businesses.
Why do you think family businesses are important to West Michigan? Family Business offers stability even in a downturn, they tend to look at their business long term rather than a quarter by quarter. The successful ones treat employees like family and really care about their health, safety, and overall wellbeing.
What is your favorite (non-work related!) hobby? Riding my Harley.
