Make Your Voice Heard on Capitol Hill
Two major family business and private company events are headed here in June, the Congressional Family Business Caucus and the Private Company Governance Summit.
The Congressional Family Business Caucus will be held June 9 on Capitol Hill, while the Private Company Governance Summit will be held June 10 – 12 at The Westin DC Downtown.
The June 9 Congressional Family Business Caucus will focus on the topic: “Fuel for Growth: Capital Solutions for Family Business.”
During the Caucus, attendees will meet with Members of the Congressional Family Business Caucus, policy experts, and family-owned business leaders discussing the challenges they face accessing capital to fuel family-owned business growth.
The Caucus meeting will feature members of Congress, new research findings, political and policy “state of play” insights from policy experts at the government affairs and law firm, Brownstein, and family business leaders discussing how they’re addressing capital needs as they prepare for growth and for the Next Generation of leadership.
In addition, attendees will visit directly with Congressional House Members and their staff.
Pat Soldano, President, and John Gugliada, Director of Engagement, for Family Enterprise USA will host the Caucus meeting, which is part of its ongoing work in Washington, D.C., on behalf of family-owned businesses.

Private Company Governance Summit 2026
Held June 10 – 12, the Private Company Governance Summit 2026 theme is: “Building Smarter Private Company Boards.”
This national conference is focused on private company governance from the owner and director perspectives. The summit will be held at The Westin DC Downtown, in Washington, D.C.
At The Private Company Governance Summit 2026, attendees explore what it means to build smarter boards. From launching the first board to navigating the complexities of succession, AI, risk and compensation, this year’s summit program is aimed at delivering insights, tools and peer connections needed to elevate governance practices and strengthen company’s long-term success.
The summit will also have panel discussions and speakers providing insights, strategies, expertise, and future-focused mindsets.
Across the two- and one-half day event, leading directors, governance experts and business owners will dive into pressing issues: who belongs in the boardroom today, how to balance oversight with partnership, where to find the next CEO and how to transform risk into opportunity.
