Case Study Collaboration Exercise
We have once again booked the San Juan Cruise vessel for an evening tour around Bellingham Bay as our kick-off event.
The September member meeting will be collaborative session of assisting each other in small groups with regards to a sample case study. Katti Esp and Justin are co-facilitators for this unique event.
This is a great opportunity to glean from other professionals while developing relationships with our association peers.
Learning Objectives:
The goal of this program is to have each table discuss what they would or would not do to assist the clients in the fact pattern in creating their estate plan. This will allow the participants to learn from each other that multiple tools are available to resolve the estate planning issues of the clients and due to our individual professions, we might be more inclined to use particular tools to resolve the issues.
This will show the importance of a client’s estate planning advisors collaborating and working together to create the best solution for a client’s estate planning problem.
