Estate & Tax Planning Advisory Council

The Lewis University Estate & Tax Planning Advisory Council was established in 2009 to provide guidance and support to the University’s Planned Giving efforts to help ensure a healthy and vibrant future for Lewis. A primary objective of the Council is to provide ongoing financial, tax, estate and planned giving education to alumni, friends and families of the Lewis Community through various forms of communication.

The Council consists of respected alumni and friends who have expertise in the fields of taxes, estate planning, law, trusts, investments, annuities and life insurance.
