Please join us for our Fourth Annual Networking Event with the Estate Planning Council of Westchester County, Wednesday, October 21, 5:00pm-8:00pm, at Sam’s of Gedney Way in White Plains.

This year’s event features an educational presentation on Enhancing Client Plans with Charitable Giving: Opportunities & Solutions Through Community Foundations presented by Audra Lewton, Esq., Director of Planned Giving of The New York Community Trust. Click here for speaker bio.

Attorney Lewton will explore a variety of charitable giving strategies, highlighting the advantages and flexibility of working with community foundations. The goal is to help you help your clients develop plans that include meaningful support for the causes they care about in financially advantageous ways—whether during their lifetime or through their estate, all while keeping in mind recent changes to the tax laws. We’ll have a lively conversation, including practical takeaways to enhance planning discussions at year-end and at every phase of the planning process. (1 CPA/1 CFP CEU pending approval)
