Next Gen

We all lead such busy, distracted lives, and often forget to plan
for those who will come after us and pick up where leave off.
This is especially true in family-owned businesses, where you see
things fall apart round about the third generation. But paving
the way for the next generation also means educating today’s
young people in newer, better and more targeted ways, so they
will be prepared for a future in which they will be productive,
engaged and successful.


Camm Morton is an expert on this transition. Camm is President of
VR Business Sales Baton Rouge, a business brokerage service that
facilitates mergers and acquisitions. Camm is also a certified
exit planner and family business advisor, who helps companies
figure out their succession plans, which is no small thing.


Camm brings a lot of business experience to the field. He spent
much of his career in commercial real estate, where he developed
and managed hotels, shopping centers and mixed use developments
throughout the South the and Atlantic seaboard. He came to Baton
Rouge in 2002 to head Commercial Properties Realty Trust, the
BRAF’s real estate company. Nearly two decades later, Camm still
calls the Capital Region home.


Robert Webb is CEO of Helix Aviation Academy, a charter school
opening in August 2021 at the Baton Rouge Airport that will help
prepare high school students for a career in aviation.


Robert is also CEO of the Helix Mentorship Steam Academy, a
charter high school in downtown Baton Rouge that Robert founded
in 2010 in an effort to close the achievement gap for students in
grades 9-12 by focusing on STEAM-based learning – that’s Science,
technology, engineering, arts, and math.


Robert also has plans to open Helix Legal Academy which, like the
aviation academy, will help prepare young people for a career in
the legal field.
