No no no, I wasnt giving some sort of annual report on financials.... while I take point on many things for my family, We have hired, trained professionals who do the actual work.
I am merely a handler so to speak.
I take the information, digest it, make decisions, when necessary consult with the family and provide instructions and frameworks for the professionals to work within.
Besides it is not like they family is going to hand their trusts over for my management, nor would I want them to. I get the IRAs and chair the high-tech vc board, and manage most of the vacation properties. For me its an opportunity to give something back to the family.
What I was referring to was my prior communications with my parents regarding the decisions I had made and on the issues where I felt overall family discourse was needed prior to a decision.
This means that all the decisions which I made and the reasons for making them, where completely lost on my parents.
Of course I had enough support from the rest of the family to move ahead regardless of any their concerns, but I dont like to feel like decisions were made without everyone's input. We may decide to move forward in spite of your input, but I want to know your thoughts before the decision is made.
