DESCRIPTION:\nPlease join us for the last dinner meeting of our 2025-2026 program season on Wednesday, May 6, at The Waters Edge at Giovanni’s in Darien. We will kick off the meeting with cocktails and networking from 5:45pm to 6:30pm, followed by dinner, the election of our 2025-2026 Slate of Officers and Directors, and educational presentation on Life Insurance Premium Financing. \n   \nOur Program\n \nPremium financing lets wealthy individuals purchase significant life insurance without selling assets or diverting cash flow to pay premiums. Borrowing large, early premium amounts and making interest-only loan payments allows maximum compounding of the difference between the premium that would have been paid out of pocket and the interest expense.\n \nOur Presenters\n \nAmine Khater, J.D., is a Corporate Vice President and Advanced Planning Manager for New York Life Insurance Company, serving the General Offices in the Northeast Zone.
