Exit Planning
We would like to welcome you back (and say a big hello and welcome to all of our new members) to the 2025-2026 season of the Bluegrass Estate Planning Council! Our Board has worked diligently throughout the summer to bring you a wonderful calendar of programs. You can find the full list on our website located here: https://www.bgepc.org/events
For our first meeting, we are excited to welcome David Grau, Sr, to speak to our group.
David Grau Sr. is a full-time author and passionate advocate for small business stewardship. In a career spanning over three decades, David has advised thousands of small business owners on issues of succession planning and enterprise value. But more recently his focus has shifted — not away from business, but much deeper into its purpose. His current writing centers on a simple but powerful belief: that small business owners have the capacity, and arguably the responsibility, to leave the world in a better place than they found it.
In his latest book, The Stewardship Advantage: Building a Profitable and Principled Small Business – with the Power to Change the World, David Sr. offers practical and professional guidance on how to be a good small business steward—not just of profits and shareholders — but of all stakeholders including one’s community, customers, employees, suppliers, partners, officers, and the environment. He writes to a global audience of owners, leaders, and changemakers ready to do business differently…and better, for generations to come!
We are happy to continue hosting our meetings at the incomparable DoubleTree Guest Suites located at 2601 Richmond Road. A buffet lunch will be served. The cost of this meeting is $20 for members and $25 for guests.
