PAELA Meeting

PENNSYLVANIA ASSOCIATION of ELDER LAW ATTORNEYS (PAELA) ANNUAL CONFERENCE

At The Hotel Hershey
February 28, 2009

Join us for the 1st annual PAELA Conference at the Hershey Hotel in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The conference agenda is not yet finalized, but will be a series of moderated discussions on substantive, practice management and public policy topics. There will not be any formal presentations; rather this will be an opportunity to discuss important issues with other practitioners. Topics will include annuities, DRA compliant notes, LTC insurance, VA benefits, special needs trusts, utilization of office staff, and much, much more. In addition, Brian Lindberg, the public policy consultant for NAELA, will lead a lunchtime presentation and discussion on what is happening in Washington, D.C., and how the election and pending legislation will impact our practices.

Note that in order to be eligible to participate in this conference, you must be a member in good standing of NAELA and PAELA as of the conference date. Please make sure your dues are current.
