The Wrigley family has an affinity of maintaining a tight grip on their affairs, ensuring what they consider meticulous control over their operations. Take as an example, Alison Wrigley Rusack, the daughter of William “Bill” Wrigley III, is Chairman of the Board of the Catalina Island Company. Her husband Geoff Rusack is CEO, and their son Hunter is President and COO.

Alison Wrigley Rusack is the permanent Chair of the Catalina Island Conservancy Benefactor Members. Her involvement with the Conservancy is supported by her son Austin who is a Conservancy Benefactor, her cousin Blanny, and her second cousin Calen Offield are both on the Board of Directors of the Conservancy. Blanny’s brother Will is Past Chairman of the Conservancy’s Board of Directors.
