Geared for business owners, successor candidates, spouses and key managers, The Austin Family Business Program at Oregon State University, with sponsorship by U.S. Bank, is holding a series of succession workshops throughout Oregon.

The Prineville workshop is set from 8 a.m. to noon on Thursday, Oct. 1, at the Ochoco Lumber Co., 1500 Paulina Highway.
