Kuwait City, 13 April, 2008: In keeping with facilitating knowledge-acquisition and empowerment - key sub-programs of Burgan Bank's larger Corporate Social Responsibility Program - Burgan Bank and KAMCO are hosting a unique management program for family-owned businesses. To be conducted by world renowned management consultants OMBI Consultants (Owner Managed Business Institute), the program will take the form of an interactive workshop and will address key business subjects and queries pertaining to the financial, marketing, and business management of family-owned businesses.

"Family-owned businesses constitute a large portion of Kuwait's economic backbone", explains Burgan Bank CEO Jonathan Lyon. "Enabling representatives of such businesses to augment their financial and management competencies in a highly competitive and dynamic market place is yet another example of our motto of being driven by 'you' - and your needs for progress. This program will present 'best practices' in running a successful family enterprise and I am confident attendees will find the forum extremely constructive and useful".
