Please join us for a live webinar with NAEPC board member, Ginger Mlakar, JD, CPA, AEP®, as we explore complex assets and donor advised funds within the context of the historic transfer of wealth expected to begin as early as 2025.  Ginger will discuss statistics, trends, and studies that will have an impact at the local level. Studies indicate that too many professionals in an advisory role are not initiating discussions with their clients about how to direct their charitable giving. Let's come together to learn how we might better serve our clients and donors as they face a turning point in their charitable planning.
