A Welcome From Our President...
It's been said that the key to success is the ability to adapt to change, and any of us could rattle off a list of organizations that became irrelevant-or even ceased to exist-because they were resistant to
change. The world of charitable giving is changing too, and it is a critical moment for those of us who serve nonprofits and philanthropists to recognize and react to the new realities.
That's why I'm excited about everything we have planned for you this year at the Partnership for Philanthropic Planning of Nashville (PPPN.) Our programs feature the top minds in charitable gift planning from across the nation, and are designed to position you on the cutting-edge of your profession. Whether you are a veteran or a newcomer to the world of philanthropic planning, we have the resources to help you better serve your donors and clients in a year that will inevitably bring tax
and legislative changes, innovative new planning strategies, and higher-than-ever expectations from those you serve. And, PPPN gives you the unique opportunity to network with colleagues from around middle Tennessee who will add tremendous value to your work and your career.
Our members include professionals from diverse and distinct backgrounds, including estate planning and tax attorneys, accountants, trust officers, financial advisors, consultants and fundraising professionals representing many local and national non-profit organizations. I invite you to join The Partnership today. Or, if you would like to try us out, attend our next meeting as a guest. Just visit our upcoming events page for more details. Thanks for visiting our website-and I look forward to visiting with you in person at our next event!
