“I am humbled and honored to be named the 92nd president of the Boston Estate Planning Council,” said Beth Milkovits, president of BEPC. “I am in awe of what BEPC has accomplished over these past few years, remarkable given the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic. Thank you to my fellow officers, board members, and members for your hard work and comradery. We’ve learned that we cannot predict exactly what will happen, but we can create an environment that allows us to be ready for anything. We have proven that we are able to adapt to our surroundings and to have a meaningful impact on our community. We have a leadership structure that has evolved over time, and I hope to build on our strong foundation: to incorporate different ways for leadership to hear new ideas and act on them; and new ways for members to participate and feel heard and valued when they do. I look forward to collaborating with fellow professional advisors, as well as with other professional groups in the greater Boston area in the coming year.”
