The 62nd Annual NAEPC Advanced Estate Planning Strategies Conference & Council Leadership Conference was held this year from October 19th to 23rd in Washington, DC at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. The Annual Conference offers an opportunity to cultivate important new multi-disciplinary relationships while collaborating on cutting-edge ideas and trends. There were a number of nationally renowned speakers, including Samuel A. Donaldson, JD, LL.M., AEP® (Distinguished), Bernard A. Krooks, JD, CPA, LL.M., CELA, AEP® (Distinguished) and Sandra D. Glazier, JD, AEP® (Distinguished). There also were a number of notable inductees to the “Estate Planning Hall of Fame,” including James E. Hughes, Jr., John A.

On Wednesday night at the conference, during the Annual Estate Planning Council Awards Reception, members of the Board were very proud to receive on behalf of the PEPC the NAEPC Council of Excellence Award! It was a wonderful evening and we look forward to continuing to deliver excellence in everything we do.
