The one-day seminar will feature Allstate companies – Lincoln Benefit Life, American Heritage Life and Investors Capital Corporation, Brathwaite, president of C.E. Brathwaite, said.
Purpose of the seminar is to provide information to financial advisors for clients wishing to make an endowment to the community. "The Community Foundation is a prime vehicle to name as a beneficiary on an insurance policy if one wants to leave a legacy in the community," Brathwaite said.
"Every day, lawyers, investment specialists, and other financial advisors are met with questions from their clients about leaving something to the community," Brathwaite said.
Featured speaker will be Wesley S. Williams Jr., senior partner of the prestigious Washington D.C. law firm, Covington and Burling, and a "dynamic and powerful speaker," according to Brathwaite. Williams is no stranger to the territory. He is co-chief executive officer of the Lockhart Caribbean Corporation.
