The Exit Planning Institute is excited to welcome the EPI Palm Beach Chapter to our vast network of chapters across the United States. Our EPI Chapter Network provides advisors with a collaborative group of leaders in their area to engage in thought-provoking conversations around exit planning topics.
Bruce Evans, EPI Palm Beach Chapter President, shares, “I am excited to launch the EPI Palm Beach Chapter for local professional advisors and their business owner clients to have a go-to educational community to support them during the exit planning process.”
The EPI Chapter Network
The EPI Chapter Network creates a forum where the local community of professional advisors can collaborate and address the unique needs of their community. Chapters develop educational programs for business owners and professional advisors that build awareness and better prepare an owner for the successful exit of their business.
The purpose of the EPI Chapter Network is to create, encourage, and foster the adoption of best practices in the exit planning profession. Chapters promote the common interests of business advisors engaged in exit planning. Bruce says the goal of the EPI Palm Beach Chapter is to “help individuals maximize their business.”

Exit Planning Is Not What You Think
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Palm Beach Chapter of the Exit Planning Institute! Our first event will be on July 14th, 2022 at 7:30 A.M. at The Benjamin in West Palm Beach.
Our commitment is to form a chapter of business professionals who are thought leaders in business succession planning, capable of serving business owners in Florida and surrounding areas.
Exit planning is the fastest-growing marketplace within the financial and professional services industry, with the exit of millions of Baby Boomer business owners on the horizon totaling more than $10 trillion dollars in transferable wealth. This is your “$10 Trillion Dollar Opportunity!”
That said, the business community is changing, and like it or not, the need for a new kind of advisor has become undeniable. You can no longer view your relationships with your clients and prospects as transactional. You must become more than your deliverable. In 2022 and beyond, you must do more than assess value. You must provide value.
During this launch event, Exit Planning Institute President, Scott Snider, will educate advisors to help change the outcome for business owners by identifying, protecting, building, harvesting & managing business wealth.
After attending the launch event for the EPI Palm Beach Chapter, advisors will be immersed in a large network of advisors to form a cross-functional team for their business owners.
Attendees will:
- Review social and economic market dynamics in play
- Discuss challenges & opportunities and how to overcome them
- Introduce you to the Value Acceleration Methodology™
- Define the Exit Planning Ecosystem
- Introduce the various roles an advisor can play inside the Exit Planning Ecosystem
- Define the role of the “Advisor of the Future” inside the Exit Planning Ecosystem
