Beverlee Dacey, owner of Amodex, a stain solutions company in Bridgeport, knows the subject well. She's lived through both the ups and downs. For more than 50 years, the stain removing formula developed by her father had provided the economic backbone for the family. Succession planning started only when he became ill in late 2004. Dacey was working in development for an independent school. When her two brothers passed on joining the Beverlee Dacey, center, has made sure her family has a succession plan for operating Amodex into the next generation. Left to right are Peter, Marica, Beverlee, Nicolas and Alexander Dacey. Peter and Alexander are the older twins; Marica and Nicolas are three years younger.
