Session 1 | Charitable Strategies for Business Transitions

Speaker

Rebecca L. Gennaro, JD, CAP®
Senior Philanthropic Advisor, Executive Director

Description

In business exit planning, timing is everything, and that includes gift planning for charitably inclined owners. Putting the right strategy in place at the right time can reduce taxes and preserve more for exited owners to give to their favorite charities. Leveraging real case studies, we will equip advisors with strategies that integrate wealth, tax, estate, and charitable considerations.

Description
