Trustees can reduce their personal risk by creating a compliance library which demonstrates they have fulfilled each of their duties of care under the Prudent Investor Act. Developing this library demonstrates the trustee has acted prudently and in good faith which is a prerequisite to qualifying for the exculpation clause of the state statute. This library will include a series of governance documents which demonstrates the trustee has fulfilled their statutorily defined obligations.
Review fiduciary duties of care under applicable statutes (UPIA, ERISA, UMIFA).
Identify a process for the development and maintenance of a fiduciary library.
Share “best practices” for fiduciary governance procedures.
Reduce trustee’s personal liability.

"More than just the basics, some good examples included. Attendees should know (or at least have a list of) the duties of care in advance of the course to appreciate what is being taught and possibly recognize how trustees they know may have been a little "lean" on their compliance or documentation of their compliance."Carrie-Anne Phillip (Carrie Phillip, CPA)
"I'm not a trustee but I hung onto every bit of information with keen interest. The topics covered would be of keen interest to anyone as you never know when you will be called upon by family or close friends. Great discussion. Thank you."Nittaya Pichedvanichok (NP International Real Estate & Investment)

"Thought provoking...Many of things I learned could be applied to serving to on boards or any activities in which you serve as a leader making decisions that involve delegation and subsequent monitoring of results.."C A (CPA)
"There are a number of considerations to take when selecting a trustee and Josh's webinar laid out a foundation for when that time comes, either for oneself or on behalf of a friend, family member, or client."Christine Hong (Christine Young Hee Hong, CPA)
"Because I have never performed this service, the webinar was a little difficult for me to understand. However, the webinar brought me into curiosity. Thank you!"george lyons (golfco)
"Thank you for all the work you did for the presentation.... It was a good check and reminder why i always refuse to do all Trusteeship work! TY"Larry Evans (Self)
"Enjoyed the approach on the slides. Something "stick-like" to gain attention and then simple points to "flesh-out" the concept presented."
