A recent workshop featured Wing Lam, co-founder of Wahoo's Fish Taco, who spoke on how investing in the community benefits business. "Speakers like Wing Lam really open the door for today's family business leaders to think outside the box and grow their companies to the next level with a philanthropic purpose," said Hart.
