To begin your application, you'll be linked to a profile page where you enter as much contact and professional information as you wish to share in the directory, and private information such as professional registrations which will be used to report Continuing Education credit on your behalf. As a new applicant, you will need two current Regular Members of DuPage County Estate Planning Council to sponsor you. Sponsoring members must be listed in the DPCEPC directory as a Trust Officer, Attorney, CPA or Financial Advisor. Please note: Associate Members may not sponsor applicants. New Member sponsor forms are online, and take only a few minutes to complete. This information will be included in an email once you begin your application. Once you've completed your profile, and two membership sponsor forms are received, your application will be submitted to the board for approval. Your membership becomes active when the board has approved your application and payment is received. (You may be able to attend meetings as a member while your application is pending. Email dpcepc@navandassoc.com.)
