WHAT IS THE FINANCIAL PLANNING ASSOCIATION?
The Financial Planning Association (FPA) is the membership organization for the financial planning community.  Its members are dedicated to supporting the financial planning process to help people achieve their goals and dreams.  FPA's nearly 30,000 members include individuals and companies who have contributed to building the financial planning profession and all those who champion the financial planning process.

WHAT IS THE FPA's MISSION?
The FPA believes everyone needs objective advice to make smart financial decisions and that when seeking advice of a financial planner, the planner should be a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP®) certificant.  That's because in order to earn the CFP® mark, individuals must pass a comprehensive examination and continue to meet education, experience and ethics standards established by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc.  www.cfp-board.org
WHAT DOES THE FPA DO?
The FPA offers services and resources designed to help the public understand the importance of the financial planning process and the value of objective advice from a CFP® professional.  Consumers may obtain information from the FPA by visiting www.fpanet.org or calling 800-282-PLAN.
HOW WAS THE FPA CREATED?
The FPA was created by the union of the Institute of Certified Financial Planners (ICFP) and International Association for Financial Planning (IAFP) on January 1, 2000.
WHAT IS THE FPA's PRESENCE IN HAMPTON ROADS?
