How Charitable Giving Teaches Money Management to Be Featured at Institute for Preparing Heirs® Training for Family Wealth Advisors
Pasadena, California (PRWEB) August 21, 2013 -- “Charitable Giving Across The Generations” will be one of several featured topics at the Institute for Preparing Heirs® hallmark wealth advisor training, "The Great Wealth Transfer: Attracting, Engaging & Retaining MultiGenerational Families", Nov. 3-5, 2013, at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Ca. This training is open to financial advisors, estate attorneys, CPA’s and other professionals who serve high-net-worth individuals and families.
The Institute for Preparing Heirs’ training program offers tools, resources, and knowledge to help advisors position their practices at the forefront of the next big “sea change” in wealth management—how to deliver advice to affluent families that bridges the gap between preparing assets for the heirs and preparing the heirs for the assets.
The training faculty includes experts on topics of non-financial issues surrounding generational wealth transfer, and the link between family dynamics and wealth transfer.
“Charitable Giving Across The Generations” session will be led by Susan Winer, faculty member of the Institute for Preparing Heirs and co-founder of Strategic Philanthropy, Ltd., a global philanthropic advisory firm that helps individuals, families, and closely held and family-owned businesses plan, assess, and manage their charitable giving. Ms. Winer will focus on the benefits of involving the entire family in the family’s philanthropic decision-making and the role of the advisor.
“Family giving is a highly effective way to teach the younger generation about managing money as well as strengthening family bonds around common values and interests,” said Ms. Winer. “By introducing or advancing the charitable conversation with clients, advisors can help build stronger relationships across generations and ensure that the family’s philanthropic dollars achieve the family’s desired outcomes.“
