Professional Partners Council

The Professional Partners Council is made up of volunteers specializing in estate and trust law, financial and investment planning, trust administration, taxation, insurance, and real estate.  The purpose of the Council is to heighten the awareness of the University of San Diego’s mission and programs among Council members so they can act as ambassadors of USD in the San Diego community. Council meetings are held at the USD campus on a quarterly basis.

A special thanks is given to the following members for their time and commitment to USD and the Planned Giving program:
