  2023 Annual Meeting Wrap Up!

The Charlotte Estate Planning Council's 2023 Annual Meeting was a success! This Annual Meeting boasted the first-ever CEPC Bus Tour, hosted by Charlotte Business Initiative (CBI), which toured around Charlotte and highlighted neighborhoods and their history. Members were granted access to the Harvey B. Gantt Center exhibits and were able to network out on the terrace before enjoying dinner together.

During dinner, incoming President Frank Robards welcomed everyone, and guests participated in the 2023 Annual Business Meeting where the 2023-2024 board members were voted in. Afterwards, we heard from Annetta Foard and Tom Hanchett whose presentation highlighted the policies and procedures established in Charlotte’s history that we are still seeing play out in the current day.
