The Estate Management Network was founded after hosting our first virtual conference in January 2021. It was clear that people wanted further opportunity to engage and participate in the conversations that were shaping our industry and were eager to learn from their peers.

Our first year was focused on surveying the community and trying to assess what was needed and how we could provide that. As we look forward, we have defined our mission and will continue to develop and implement programs to fulfill it. We’ve crafted a mission statement as our guide:
