President’s Message

Rose Price, CFP®

We hit the year running with 140 attendees at our 3-day virtual symposium event in January, hosted by past President Chris Rivers.  The program delivered the opportunity to get 15 CFP credits and 2 ethics.  We had a great line-up of keynote speakers and platinum sponsors tackling topics from New Administration-New Estate planning opportunities, COVID impact on Financial and Estate planning, Economic trends, Industry trends and Credit investing.  There was something for everyone in this year’s line-up.  If you missed this year’s symposium, you can access the handouts for some of the speakers on the website and connect with the sponsors here:  https://www.fpanca.org/page/40.    All around this year’s Symposium was a great success even with a temporary internet outage on the east coast Tuesday.  Big thanks to our sponsors for their continued support, our membership’s participation, and Chris and Peggy for all their work. 

The program team is hard at work on the rest of this year’s calendar. In February, we will host a community forum on February 18^th and on February 25^th our first financial planning trivia.  March will bring a NexGen open forum on March 9^th as well as a webinar and Community forum. Dates and times and registration details will open soon on our website. If you have suggestions for programs or community forum topics of interest, please reach out and share your ideas. 

If you are a new member or a seasoned member who has not attended a virtual meeting, I invite you to attend, and you will not be disappointed.  We sure do miss seeing our members and networking; we are looking forward to the opportunity to gather in person later this year and continue to grow our great profession.

We look forward to seeing you on-line at our next event.

Best wishes,

Rose
