A healthy economy in the El Paso region is dependent on the formation, growth and survival of family-owned and other closely-held businesses. The Forum invites these firms to become members and learn proven techniques to improve strategic, financial and interpersonal management skills. We bring in nationally and internationally renowned experts to conduct workshops and retreats for the member companies. We also draw on various specialists on the UTEP faculty and the professional knowledge of our sponsors. The Forum's goal is to help regionally based firms achieve prosperity and succeed from generation to generation. Dr. Frank Hoy is the director of this Forum at UTEP.
