COUNCIL / MEMBER REGISTRATION WEBSITE

This event takes place from 4:00 pm ET - 5:00 pm ET.

Keeping your council’s programming calendar fresh, relevant, and consistently full can feel like a constant challenge. Between securing quality speakers, identifying timely topics, balancing formats, and meeting member expectations, program planning requires both creativity and strategy.

This interactive session is designed specifically for estate planning council leaders who want to move beyond last-minute scheduling and build a thoughtful, sustainable programming plan. Together, we’ll explore innovative approaches to sourcing speakers, identifying emerging topics, leveraging partnerships, and creating formats that appeal to multi-generational and disciplinary audiences.

Discussion areas will include:

• Developing a year-long programming framework aligned with your council’s goals

• Creative methods for sourcing and vetting speakers

• Tapping into local expertise and cross-professional collaboration

• Balancing technical education with networking and community-building events

• Incorporating hybrid, virtual, or shorter-format programs

• Building a program committee structure that prevents burnout

Participants will leave with practical ideas, planning tools, and new inspiration to confidently create and fill a dynamic programming calendar that keeps members engaged and coming back.
