John A. Terrill, II, the College’s President, offered his congratulations “to the diverse new class of ACTEC Fellows from around the globe.”

“ACTEC Fellows have a reputation for demonstrating the highest level of professional excellence in what they do, for their clients, and for the trust and estate practice in their broader communities,” he said. “Collectively they play an important role in the creation, improvement, and interpretation of laws and rules for the benefit of our local communities, states, and country.”
