After 20 years in private service, veteran estate manager Kimberly Varney noticed a disconnect in how people across the industry understand the role of an estate manager. The lack of a standardized definition makes it difficult to write and decipher job descriptions and to find the right job (or the right hire). And without enough opportunities for connection and professional development in estate management, how will we fix these problems? This question led Kimberly to launch the Estate Management Network, and to plan the Estate Management Conference on January 29, 2022. In this episode of the Easemakers Podcast, you'll hear why Kimberly saw the need for a state of the industry conference, and how she hopes it will drive change for estate managers.Want to share your own thoughts about driving change in estate management?
