The council, which was created in 2017, is comprised of local professionals who work in charitable gift planning, including estate planning attorneys, financial advisors, CPAs, insurance representatives, and funeral directors.

The council hears from Beebe’s leaders about projects, plans, and services, and discusses ideas and strategies for increasing support for Beebe through planned gifts.
