Register today to participate in FPA Advocacy Day on June 22nd.
Deadline to Register:
June 3rd
Join FPA colleagues
from across the country in Washington, D.C. for the 3rd Annual FPA
Advocacy Day on June 22. This is your opportunity to meet with federal
lawmakers who have the ability to influence the financial planning profession
and the millions of Americans who depend on the help of professionals like you!
For many years FPA
hosted “Financial Planning Day on the Hill,” helping to spread the word about
financial planning to congressional staffers on Capitol Hill. In 2014, the focus changed, and the day on
the Hill became FPA Advocacy Day. The
result is a more focused day of meetings advocating on behalf of issues facing
the financial planning industry.
Over the past two
years, FPA members engaged in meetings with Representatives, Senators, leaders
of the House Financial Services and Senate Banking Committees, and even the
White House. As a result of those
meetings, FPA has been able to further engage policymakers who directly impact
our profession.
The FPA and the
financial planning industry in general still have only marginal name
recognition on Capitol Hill. It is important that we continue to expand on the
momentum we have built over the past two years, particularly given the
increased visibility the profession has received during the DOL “fiduciary
rule” debate. With your support and participation, we can build on what we have started,
continue to educate lawmakers on what we do and why it’s so important, and make
our collective voice resonate throughout our country.
FPA will provide a pre-event
networking dinner on June 21st.
The following morning the group will meet for continental breakfast, training
(including a discussion of talking points), appointments with the offices of
your representatives, and the opportunity to meet and network with your fellow
FPA members.
