National Association of Estate Planners and Councils

Volunteering with NAEPC

NAEPC is a dynamic and growing association comprised of affiliated local estate planning councils and their members, Estate Planning Law Specialist certificants, and Accredited Estate Planner® designees, led entirely by a volunteer board of directors, a strong committee configuration, and many volunteers serving on an as-needed basis for project-based or task force work.  We are always looking to expand our volunteer base and encourage council leaders, council members, and designees to get involved by serving as committee members.
