The Institute for Family Business each year honors outstanding Texas family businesses with the Texas Family Business of the Year Awards Program.

Dr. William J. Worthington is director of the Institute for Family Business at Baylor. He teaches classes on family business and explores the dynamics at work in their success and continuity.

“We have this amazingly successful program that’s not well-known or even tagged well with the Baylor brand,” Worthington said. “Right here in Waco are tons of family-owned businesses that haven’t heard of us, and we really need to change that.”
