FPA

The Financial Planning Association (FPA) is the largest professional membership organization in the United States for financial planning professionals, particularly those with the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation. Founded in 2000 from the merger of two organizations, the FPA aims to unify the financial planning profession to promote collaboration, education, and advocacy.

The FPA provides a variety of resources and services to its approximately 22,000 members. These include professional development and education programs, ethics training, and continuing education opportunities. The organization also advocates for public policies that protect consumers and enhance trust in the financial planning profession. Additionally, the FPA facilitates networking and collaboration through events, conferences, and local chapters, and produces publications and media to keep members informed about industry trends and best practices.
