Dan Lash, CFP®, AIF®                        President’s Message

Hopefully your tax season went well and the extended three days to file did not make this time of year any worse than it usually is.  Now with April behind us we can move on to some fun chapter events and great educational programs in the coming months.

The fun and charity begin with our 23rd Annual Golf Tournament on Wednesday, May 11 at Westfields Golf Course.  Our golf tournament has been recognized by the National FPA as one of the best and been copied by many other chapters due to the success and money FPA NCA has raised for charity, with most of the proceeds going to local charities and the Foundation for Financial Planning over the years.  In fact, FPA NCA has contributed more to the Foundation than all other chapters in the country combined.  This shows the great success of this event and that we have outstanding support and involvement from our members.

June 9 will be our Spring Symposium at the Dulles Hyatt, and this year’s event will be bigger than ever to help make up for our slightly downsized Winter Symposium due to the snow.  Keynote speakers will include Michael Kitces and Carolyn McClanahan.  In total you will be able to receive 6 CE’s for CFP®, CIMA, MD and VA Insurance, plus 2 CE for Ethics. We will also offer CPA CPE.

Our July meeting will feature Michael Finke, Ph.D., CFP® discussing “A New Perspective on Retirement Income Planning”.  Dr. Finke is the Dean and Chief Academic Officer at The American College of Financial Services.  Dr. Finke has served as the editor of the Journal of Personal Finance and is a contributing editor to Research Magazine.  This will be another outstanding meeting you will want to attend.

Please note that we are working to stream-line member data from our National FPA office to our local database. All member information is now updated every night through a data transmission from the FPA National records. Therefore, your FPA National log in transfers into our system as your log in here. Please use your FPA National log in when trying to register on our chapter website. If you have a problem with your password, please email Peggy to have the password reset for you. Peggy can be reached at PEGGY@FPANCA.ORG.

In addition, any address, phone or email updates should be made on the FPA National system, so that those records will feed into the chapter system correctly. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we transition to this new system!

Be sure to visit the events page for all scheduled meetings and to register at www.fpanca.org.  If you are a new member, or a seasoned member who has not attended a meeting recently, I invite you to attend one meeting this year, and I will be sure to introduce myself.  With our busy careers, it is often hard to make time for meetings.  However, if you attend I know you will not be disappointed.

Look forward to seeing you at our next event.
Best Regards,
Dan

2016 FPA NCA President
