FPA Forms Advocacy Council for Members

According to the Denver-based FPA, the council will be comprised of three past and current FPA leaders, two at-large FPA members, and a representative of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) board of directors, who will serve rotating terms. The full slate of council members is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks.

"We are grateful to Nick for agreeing to chair this important council," Sandy said. "His ability, along with the rest of the council members, to listen to the opinions of our members and the reasoning of the regulatory and certifying bodies will result in a fair and balanced assessment that will help guide the work of our board of directors in serving FPA and the profession well."

The new advisory council will request input from FPA members and leaders on which regulatory and certification initiatives should be most closely tracked. The council also will analyze the issues and draft FPA position statements and action plans for the FPA board of directors.

In addition, the FPA's advocacy council will reach out to all FPA members, chapter leaders and 1,000-plus volunteers.
