Cleveland - For the second year, Cleveland will host tax attorneys, financial planners,
certified public accountants and insurance professionals who are attending the Great Lakes Federal
Tax Institute being held May 11-12 at the Cleveland Marriott East Hotel in Beachwood.
Last year, more than 200 tax professionals from 9 states, from as far away as California
and Arizona, came to Cleveland, and a larger attendance is expected this year.
"This is a feather in Cleveland's cap to draw such a large number of participants to a
national tax seminar that normally is held in warm weather destinations or coastal cities,"
stated Gary A. Zwick, an organizer of the event and partner at the Cleveland law firm of
Walter & Haverfield LLP.
Zwick said that Cleveland's central location and reasonable travel and hotel rates make
our location ideal for this type of national gathering.
The two-day seminar features nationally-recognized experts speaking on creative tax
planning for closely-held businesses and high net-worth individuals and covers the
newest tax planning and practice guidelines. Continuing Education Credits are available
through various professional organizations.
The seminar is sponsored by Walter & Haverfield, First Merit Bank and Lorman
Education Services. For more information or to register, call 866-352-9539 or via the
