COUNCIL LEADERSHIP DAY

Estate planning council leaders from across the country joined for this day of information sharing and development. While the morning sessions were dedicated to the NAEPC's Annual Meeting, the remainder of the day was devoted to allowing council leaders to spend time with one another in groups with leaders of like-size organizations. This is continually noted as a very valuable experience. More about Council Leadership Day.

"'Unique' is a word that cannot be qualified. It does not mean rare or uncommon; it means alone in the universe. By the standards of grammar and by the grace of God, New Orleans is the unique American place." Charles Kuralt from Charles Kuralt's America
