National Estate Planning Awareness Week

The National Association of Estate Planners & Councils and The NAEPC Foundation Boards of Directors are pleased to report that October 20-26, 2008 has been named National Estate Planning Awareness Week!

Every council is encouraged to begin planning a publicly-based Estate Planning Day in their community during this timeframe. In an effort to assist with this process, NAEPC and The NAEPC Foundation are hard at work developing materials to help you get started.

Phase 1 - The Organizational Phase
The NAEPC Foundation Committee has developed an organizational guide for hosting a public seminar. The packet of information contains the materials you'll need to get started with Board approval, forming committees, creating a program and actually hosting the event. See the complete packet of Phase 1 information.

Phase 2 - The Technical Information
The committee is working to develop a PowerPoint presentation of technical material that is appropriate for a program one - eight hours in length. Check back for updates!

Phase 3 - The Promotional Period
After Phase 1 and 2 are complete, the NAEPC will launch promotional materials to publications across the country. The materials will help the media understand the importance of appropriate estate planning and alert them to estate planning day activities that may happen in their area.
