Each week, KMOX partners with CMA to learn the secrets to success when future generations successfully take over the family business. As a company that's been handed down from mother to daughter, SSE was the perfect business to share their story on the show. In the interview, our founder, Susan S. Elliott and our President and CEO, Elizabeth Niedringhaus discuss the founding of SSE and where it is today.

From CMA Consult:

Susan Elliot (founder) and Elizabeth Niedringhaus (G2, CEO) discuss the founding of SSE in the mid-60s and how the firm’s leadership and ownership moved from G1 to G2. Susan describes what it was like for a female to found and lead a business 50 years ago and Elizabeth describes how she established her leadership credibility as well as how she grows the business.
