As we embark on a new program year, I am filled with excitement and optimism about the opportunities ahead. First, I am honored to have been elected and to serve as your President this term. I joined the PEPC over a decade ago, and it’s been a valuable source of learning and networking, both personally and professionally. Our council has a rich tradition of fostering collaboration, learning and professional growth, and I am eager to see all that we will achieve together this year expanding upon that mission.
This is a time of both challenge and innovation in the world of estate planning, and our council is committed to staying at the forefront of these changes. Through a robust lineup of programs, expert speakers, our newsletter and dynamic networking events, we aim to equip our members with the tools, insights and connections necessary to excel in our rapidly evolving field.
One of my primary goals as your President is to further strengthen the bonds and connections within our council. Whether you're new to the profession or a seasoned expert, there’s something here for everyone, and I encourage you to take full advantage of what we have to offer. Together, we will share knowledge, develop best practices and help each other better serve our clients and communities. I hope to build on the momentum of our past President, Stephanie Sanderson-Braem, and am very thankful for her leadership that has led to the continued success of our organization.
This year, we also will focus on expanding our outreach efforts, encouraging fresh perspectives and embracing new ideas that will enrich our conversations and broaden our impact. I believe this diversity of thought is key to maintaining our council’s vibrancy and relevance in the years to come. Thank you for your continued commitment to our organization. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events and working alongside you to make this our best year yet.
