Council Information

 

The Estate Planning Council of Eastern New York, Inc. welcomes professionals from all of the estate planning disciplines. 

Our regular meetings are held four times each year in October, November, January, and May.  Most meetings consist of one- to two-hour educational programs presented by nationally recognized speakers, with most qualifying for continuing education credits.   The meetings schedule for the current year is posted on this website under EVENTS.  We welcome non-members to attend our meetings and invite first-time guests to join us at the members' reduced price.

Membership in our Council may be obtained by submitting the membership application found on this website to our Executive Director, Stephanie Cogan, with the $50.00 application fee plus the membership dues for the current year.  Annual membership dues are $200.00 per year, with renewal notices issued by our Executive Director in the summer.

Our Board of Directors consists of nine Directors elected by our members serving staggered three-year terms, plus four Officers elected by the Board of Directors and the Immediate Past President.  This group of fourteen individuals together with our Executive Director meet throughout the year to manage the affairs of the Council and plan for future programs.
