Session #1:
2017 Advocacy and Association Update
Presenter: Michael Kenyon, President & CEO, National Association of Charitable Gift Planners
With the first year of the Trump administration now reaching the halfway point, what do we know about legislative priorities and potential outcomes of legislation? Tax reform along with other issues that could affect the charitable sector will be discussed as well as what the sector must do to protect and create a positive environment for charitable giving.

Also, get updated on the many changes with the national association, CGP, and learn how national and your local council complement and work together to provide a comprehensive member experience.

Session #2:
National Capital Gift Planning Council Annual Meeting
Presenter: Meg Roberts, President, National Capital Gift Planning Council
Join us for the NCGPC annual business meeting after the networking lunch. Our annual meeting is more than just a cursory review of financials and a vote on new board members. It is your chance to bring up the topics you want to learn about next year and find ways to participate — after all, this is YOUR Council and we need your input to make it strong. Please plan to stay to learn about the status of the Council and ways you can join the board and volunteers in meeting the needs of our professional community.

Speaker

Working closely with the CGP board, Michael helps develop and champion the organization's strategic vision, ensuring that CGP's budget, staff and priorities are aligned with its mission to serve charitable gift planners and bring to life the art and science of charitable gift planning. It's Michael's job to navigate change, foster innovation and bring people together to build a healthy and successful organization.

Discovery Center, a museum and educational space that USA Today named one of the top places in the United States for hands-on music making.
