In addition to these speakers, Family Enterprise USA’s Soldano will present on “The Challenges of Family Businesses to Create a Legacy.”

During her talk, Soldano will review results of the recent Family Enterprise USA 2026 Annual Family-Owned Business Survey. The survey asked questions of 716 family-owned businesses on such subjects as wealth taxes, pressing economic concerns of family businesses, and insights on passing businesses on to the next generation.

Soldano will also assist with moderating a panel discussion along with Tim Shultz, Director, Center for Family Business at California State University.

The event is designed to give attendees practical insight on leadership transition, family dynamics, and sustaining long-term success,” said Shultz, about the event. “Legacy isn’t built in a moment—it’s shaped across generations.”

Now more than ever, family offices and successful families are under fire. That’s why Family Enterprise USA Action is passionately working to increase the awareness of issues important to family offices and successful families, while continuing to strengthen our presence on Capitol Hill.


Family Enterprise USA Action engages with legislators on Capitol Hill on behalf of family offices, successful families, and family-owned businesses. It is focused exclusively on the critical tax and economic policies that impact them. Since 1995, FEUSA Action has been the leading advocacy group working daily in Washington, D.C., to reduce and eliminate estate tax, gift tax, and generation skipping transfer tax while blocking increased income and capital gains taxes, the creation of a wealth tax, and other hostile policies that punish hardworking taxpayers and success in the U.S. It is a bipartisan 501.c4 organization.
