COLORADO WEST ESTATE PLANNING COUNCIL

We will have Rob Bleiberg – Executive Director speak about the Colorado West Land Trust. Whose mission is to protect and enhance agricultural land, wildlife habitat and scenic lands in western Colorado to benefit the community at large, enrich lives, provide opportunities for outdoor recreation, and ensure our connection to land for generations to come.

For this meeting we will also be working through a case study! With the amazing professionals we have in our membership, we will have a round table discussion centered on a small investor retiree case study. This will be an excellent opportunity for our different professions to share insights and ideas on how to address issues surrounding many of our clients who are at or near retirement.

Please find the case study attached and come ready to share your ideas!!
