Kristin and her team are well equipped as they currently are
the Executive Director of FPA Massachusetts and New England as well as
supported the FPA National Conference.
Kristin has 20 years of working FPA Chapter knowledge and we look
forward to having her join our team.
Peggy will be here through the end of the year and will also join us for
our January symposium as we transition the role to Kristin. We hope you can join us at our January
symposium as we recognize Peggy and welcome Kristin.
Another change on the horizon is a new Chapter website. We are currently building and will update you
when our new site is live.
We are preparing for the upcoming months mindful of the Delta variant with our member and sponsor’s safety balanced with getting back to some normal events. We will be in person for October events and will take necessary precautions and follow facility guidelines. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate the changing landscape.

FPA National Updates The FPA Central Office staff is working on an FPA Fall Learning Series that will make most of the terrific content that was slated for the conference available at no cost to all FPA members. They are working with the speakers and partners on this multi-week virtual program that will cover various issues relevant to the practice and business of financial planning. It will include live and on-demand webinars, live discussions through our many Knowledge Circle communities, and offer CFP® CE credit when possible.
They are finalizing the program details, which will begin in
early November, and will promote this unique learning program shortly.
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
