Building A Multi-Owner Board of Directors

Dealership Minds Summit 2013: Mark Foster

Mark Foster, Ag Division Manager, Birkey's Farm Stores Inc. (2007 Dealership of the Year). Mark Foster, who has been with this 13-store dealer group for 29 years, outlines the decisions and lessons learned with this unique 6-owner arrangement, the keys to structuring buy-ins/buy-outs and how a solid board of owners (all with direct-line management responsibilities) is finding total-entity success by subordinating to the firm's larger concerns.
