ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

Estate and Business Succession Planning for the LGBTQ+ Community

Whether you are single, married, part of an unmarried couple or non-traditional relationship, putting a written plan in place is essential, both for your family and for your business.  Many of us have an understanding with those who we consider family, but until we document this understanding and make sure its valid under federal and local law, we’re inviting conflict and the interference of outside parties.

The same applies for our business:  a proper plan is needed to allow us to retire in style and preserve our assets.

This presentation will shed light on issues confronting the LGBTQ community both in business and their personal lives.

ABOUT THE RISE AND GRIND SPEAKER SERIES

Equality Chamber of Commerce and the Equality Chamber Foundation strive to serve its members and the business community by providing educational and informational seminars. Our goal is to gather experts in our community to discuss topics critical to small businesses and organizations. 

We believe it is our responsibility to offer the community an opportunity to hear from experts so that they can make decisions based on the facts and facilitate factually-based discussions. We want to be a conduit through which the community can obtain information, drive discussions, and make their own decisions.

The Rise and Grind Speaker Series allows you to keep up on current events and topics of interest locally and regionally. Business owners, organizational leaders, HR professionals, marketers, and small businesses will find these topics helpful as they are designed to educate and inform about subjects that are relevant to your local business and non-profit community. In addition, business owners and organizational leaders can promote their business before the workday even begins. Also, these breakfasts focus on networking and give attendees the chance to exchange business cards and develop new prospects.
