Letter from the Chair
As a Montana native, I am especially pleased to be bringing this year's Spring Symposia to the American West.
For the first time in its 29 year history, the program will be held in Denver and I look forward to seeing many
of you there on April 20 – 21, 2017. In keeping with the program location, our programing is built around the
theme of "Elevate Your Practice" in honor of the Mile-High City.
The CLE offerings will cover a range of topics such as residential development and water conservation,
sustainable development, preferred partnerships in wealth transfers, current trends in non-tax estate planning,
powers of attorney, international leasing as well as ethics and technology.
In addition to the CLE programs, we have arranged a luncheon featuring Gary Ferguson, renowned author of
twenty-two books on nature and science and a frequent speaker on variety of wildlife and conservation issues.
The symposia offers plenty of opportunities to network with colleagues from across the country, including a
reception Thursday evening where we will experience a bit of Denver's cultural offerings at the Ellie Caulkins
Opera House in the Denver Performing Arts Center. As in years past, I would like to invite those who are in
town on Wednesday evening join us for a complimentary reception acknowledging the Section's efforts in
diversity and inclusion.
See you soon in the Mile High City!

Chair, ABA Section of Real Property, Trust and Estate Law
