2007 Friend of CAGP-ACPDP™ Award Recipient
During the CAGP-ACPDP™ Annual Conference Banquet on April 12th 2007, it was with great pleasure that we honoured the recipient of the
2007 Friend of CAGP-ACPDP™ Award
Beryl Publicover
Beryl, a Newfoundlander by birth, has been involved in philanthropy either as a volunteer or as a professional her entire adult life. Beryl’s earliest work experience in Toronto and Halifax was in the financial services sector. Beryl’s early days as a fundraiser in Halifax involved knitting sweaters for the Grace Maternity Hospital (now the IWK-Grace Health Centre) for its Annual Christmas tea and sale. She quickly wove a new fabric of gift planning for the Salvation Army, the IWK Health Centre Foundation and now the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital Foundation. She has been an active volunteer within CAGP-ACPDP™ having served on its National Board as Membership Chair now serving on its Membership Committee. In October 2005, Beryl co-instructed the Canadian Gift Planning Course with Malcolm Burrows in Banff. She was co-chair of the last CAGP-ACPDP™ conference held in Halifax and volunteered to do it again for this year’s conference- Thank you, Beryl.
Beryl was a founding member of the
LEAVE A LEGACY™ Nova Scotia program in the fall of 1998; served as the co-chair of the Nova Scotia LEAVE A LEGACY™ Program Committee for many years and served on the executive of the Nova Scotia RoundTable. She is also an active member of the Halifax Estate Planning Council. Beryl has been a mentor to many people along the way and continues to show willingness to assist others in their professional development and understanding of gift planning.
