Two service platforms are available for families: the Virtual Family Interface™, and the Virtual Family Board of Directors®. The Virtual Family Interface™ is designed as a secure private family website and serves as a central communication tool for family members. The Virtual Family Board of Directors® is designed as a fully integrated platform, allowing a family to communicate more effectively with their multi-disciplined professional family office. This is based on The Family Board of Directors® model, created by Michael T. Hartley, Chairman of Dale K. Ehrhart, Inc.
Our Virtual platforms have been designed to support communication, which is the fourth strategic function, through the physical design of the website and the protocols that we develop in conjunction with the family office team. Communication is a key function for a family because it consists not only of the verbal communication between members, but the transmission of information between members as well because the right information needs to be available to the right people at the right time.
