Tom Wolf Presents to CFB Membership in September

Tom Wolf, former PA Secretary of Revenue, spoke to members and guests on September 17, 2009, the first in the CFB's 2009-10 series of Educational and Benchmarking Seminars.

Wolf is chairman and CEO of The Wolf Organization, a family owned building materials business based in York, Pennsylvania, founded in 1843, with distribution through 30 branches along the Eastern Seaboard.

Wolf doesn't believe family businesses should make it easy for the next generation to assume ownership of the family business. And he should know...he bought his family firm twice, once before he served as the State Secretary of Revenue and then again in 2009! He also talked about the value of listening, really listening to employees, explaining how he empowered employees and improved morale toward better performance and decreased turnover at Wolf. He also spoke to the marked efficiencies and improved ROI the Wolf Organization achieved through an investment in SAP.
