Message from the President |
|
Chapter Members:
We had a great turnout at our May meeting at Meadowview. Mark Benson
provided us with a very interesting presentation on insurance market status
and risk issues. We also welcomed three new members to our chapter: Josh
Odom with Dent K. Burk Associates and two student members from ETSU,
Jonathan Smith and Sean Hu. Look for these new members at our upcoming
meetings to introduce yourself and get to know them.
Our June meeting will be held one week later than usual on June 23, due to
the Annual Convention in Asheville the previous week. This will be a joint
meeting with the Tri-Cities Estate Planning Council at the Holiday Inn in
Johnson City. Anne McKinney, an attorney and very popular speaker on estate
planning issues, will be our guest speaker. She is an excellent and
entertaining speaker and you won't want to miss this meeting if at all
possible. If you would like to see a short clip of McKinney in action you
can click this link:

If you are attending the annual convention in Asheville, I will see you
there.
Sincerely,
Donna Jones
