Additional Guest Speakers to Be Announced


Pentera seminars are considered the best in the profession.

"All of the speakers were engaging, dynamic, and humorous. They were obviously completely knowledgeable in all aspects of the field but were able to present the information on a level that was relatively easy to digest, even for someone new to planned giving."
