Schedule a Kick-Off Meeting! Let your very first Family Meeting be termed an exciting “Kick-off Meeting”! This is a time where the family will celebrate the fact that you have launched scheduled Family Meetings. |

Complete your Family Profile! During your Kick-Off Meeting, complete your Family Profile. Your Family Profile is a place to record your family’s vision, motto, goals, team name, team colors, and more. This approach allows your family members to see the home as a place of teamwork and unity. You can revisit the profile before each family meeting – to ensure that you and your loved ones are on the same page and that you have fun! |
