About Us

Who We Are

The Denver Estate Planning Council was established in 1958 to promote multi-disciplinary education, understanding, and cooperation among professionals who are involved in estate planning. It is organized to help its members render the highest possible service to the public by presenting excellent educational programs.

 

When We Meet

There are four regular meetings and annual meeting each year. Meetings are normally scheduled on the third Thursday of September, November, January and March. Meetings are currently held at either breakfast or lunch and are scheduled throughout Denver, Cherry Creek, and the DTC. Members are welcome to bring guests to breakfast meetings at no additional charge. The annual meeting is scheduled for May to conduct a short business meeting and to allow members to socialize. The annual meeting is for members only.
