International tax attorney Steven L. Cantor of Cantor & Webb P.A. has been awarded the Founder’s Award for Outstanding Achievement by the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.
STEP presents the award to members who have made an exceptional and outstanding, long-term contribution to the society, above and beyond that normally expected of a member through office in his/her branch or elsewhere in the voluntary life of the society.
The award was presented by STEP Branch Chairman Joseph Kellogg at a cocktail reception attended by STEP Miami Board members and branch members.
“STEP Miami Branch is proud to have Steve Cantor as our Founder,” Mr. Kellogg said.
Mr. Cantor was one of the first people in the United States to join STEP in 1994 and he served as the STEP Miami branch’s founding chairman for the first six years.
“It has been quite gratifying to see that my original expectations with regard to the role STEP could play in the private client/estate planning industry have been widely exceeded,” Mr Cantor said. “I am thankful to have had the opportunity to play an important role, along with many other dedicated professionals worldwide in the success of STEP from its earliest days.”
He was instrumental in the creation of the STEP Caribbean Conference, a professional event now in its 14th year. Along with several prominent Panamanian practitioners, Mr Cantor was also one of the early advocates for forming the STEP branch in Panama, where the inaugural STEP LatAm Conference was held in November of 2011.
