President’s Message

Rose Price, CFP®

 

A big thank you for the support and attendance at our first in person luncheon in 15 months.  The resilience and support of this community continues to amaze me.  It was so nice to see so many of you attend the July 15th program at Westwood Country Club and to network and catchup.  We had over 60 in attendance and the opportunity to hear from our sponsors and reconnect. 

We have a lot going on in August and something for everyone.  We will kick off the month with NexGen hosting their annual retreat in person. The event will be August 4 from 1:00-5:00; held in DC with two great speakers, a panel discussion on Career Development, and a networking happy hour to wrap up the day.  If you are a younger member looking to connect with your peers, this a great program to attend.


Next up on the calendar is an opportunity to volunteer and mentor the next generation. The FPA NCA chapter in collaboration with the University of Maryland Global Campus will host a one-day virtual Financial Wellness Day.  The event will be held on August 11, 2021.  This program, a first of its kind, will provide virtual, free, no-strings-attached financial planning information to UMGC students, their families, and consumers across the country.  Volunteers from the FPA will meet with participants for 30 minutes to answer and discuss a planning question with a UMGC student in the CFP Program shadowing.  This gives members an opportunity to mentor the next generation of planners and work with those who may not be able to afford our services.  For more information or to sign up, please reach out to Candace Lee at Board@fpanca.org

We will be hosting an in-person luncheon on August 12 at Westwood Country Club.  We have two great speakers lined up with 2 CFP, 2 CIMA CE credits and CPA CPE offered.   Margo Steinlage will start the program discussing the many changes in the Insurance and Health Care industry and the role health care costs can play in retirement as well as things to consider when selecting Medicare plans.   Coryn Rosenstock and Michael Manning will close out the program with a panel discussion on the Differences between Maryland and Virginia Estate/probate laws. 

We will have our September luncheon at Kenwood Country Club on September 24, 2021- please visit the website for program updates. 


Employers who are looking to hire - our annual Career Fair will be held on October 15, 2021 at the Dulles Hyatt.  Registration is now open and sponsorships are selling out, be sure to sign up early.

Updates from FPA National: they will be hosting their virtual Nextgen gathering in August.   The date for the 2-day virtual NexGen gathering has been scheduled for August 12-13.  This unique and virtual experience will arm the NexGen community with skills, lasting connections and practical tools.  Please visit FPA NexGen Gathering for more details and to register.  Registration for the FPA Annual Conference is now open and will be held in person September 22-24 in Columbus, Ohio.  You can click the link to learn more: FPA Annual Conference

If you are a new member or a seasoned member who has not attended a meeting in a while, I invite you to attend. You will not be disappointed.  We look forward to seeing you at our next event.

Best wishes,

Rose
