People are constantly learning and growing. To advance in your career, uncover new areas of expertise, or pick up a unique skill set, advisors need to learn from best-in-class teachers. October 5 is World Teacher’s Day. To celebrate, we are highlighting some of our EPI Faculty. These professionals educate our Certified Exit Planning Advisors during CEPA programs, host webinars and CEPA Think Tank sessions, and lead EPI Academy Courses.
CEPA Faculty
The Certified Exit Planning Advisor® (CEPA®) is the most regarded exit planning credential in the marketplace today, endorsed and accepted by more than 40 significant organizations for a reason. In order to ensure the best exit planning education in the market, EPI brings together experts to teach the 23 CEPA modules.
This ensures that you are learning the most current, specialized, relevant industry information and knowledge from leaders with the expertise. It takes a team to effectively help an owner transition successfully. And it takes a team of experts to educate top advisors like you on how to do it.
Christopher Snider, CEO of Exit Planning Institute and Head of Faculty, shares, “Exit planning is a complicated, multi-year, emotional, expensive journey. It involves a lot of people: advisors, family, employees, partners, customers and suppliers, your community, with the owner at the center, which makes it even more complicated. A plan with no action does not change the outcome.”
