🏆 HONOREE SPOTLIGHT 🏆 The Quad City Planned Giving Council, in collaboration with AFP-Quad Cities is thrilled to honor Molly O'Meara Schnell and Melissa Hancock of Schnell & Hancock, P.C. with the Outstanding Planned Giving Professional Award! 🏆 With a combined 57 years of experience in estate planning and community leadership, Molly and Melissa exemplify outstanding service and dedication to their clients and community. 🌟 Molly shares, “I was raised with a strong sense of community. It was instilled in me that assisting people in your community makes your community stronger. In meeting with clients, I try to find that place of community for them; what is or was important to them, what experiences, people or institutions affected their lives. As I work with them, I remind them of those things and encourage them to include gifts in their plan that reflect the import those experiences, people or institutions had on their lives.” Melissa adds, “As the attorney, I find it very professionally fulfilling to ensure my clients who have charitable intentions can achieve their goals. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the positive impact their planned gifts have on the community.” Join us in celebrating Molly & Melissa at the National Philanthropy Day Awards Breakfast on November 13! 🎉👏 Event Details: https://lnkd.in/ggPEGZzP
