He will also work closely with financial, legal and tax advisors who assist clients with their estate planning and philanthropic giving through the Community Foundation.
     Eason is an experienced estate planner and fundraising professional. For the past five years he has worked in university advancement with a primary responsibility for major gift and planned gift programs, first with Rockhurst University then at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences.
     “It’s exciting to witness the positive impact of philanthropy in the lives of individuals,” said Eason. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Truman Heartland team and look forward to advocating for donors and nonprofits in Eastern Jackson County and the surrounding communities.”
