Stride – Your Family Business Community

Stride Family Business Alliance is a community and advisory platform for multigenerational family businesses in the Capital Region, founded by Jason Packer and based in the Albany area. Members join confidential peer groups organized by generation and role, attend monthly learning sessions and an annual Family Enterprise Retreat, and can take one-on-one advisory on succession, ownership, governance and family relationships.

The Steward Generation peer group, for senior owners, is co-chaired by Jonathan Phillips of Phillips Hardware, and a Rising Gen group serves next-generation family members. Every program operates under one rule: what is shared in Stride stays in Stride.

What to know

• One-on-one advisory follows a structured process covering ownership, governance, succession, estate, philanthropy and strategy.
• Family business mixers bring members together outside the peer group calendar.
• Contact is by phone or email at jpacker@stridefba.com.
• Membership is open to owners, next-generation leaders, couples who work together and non-family executives.
