the membership organization for the financial planning community.
    FPA's Public Relations Department can provide sources and
information for personal finance coverage. Call 303/759-4900 x7109 or

    FPA was created when the Institute of Certified Financial
Planners (ICFP) and the International Association for Financial

to supporting the financial planning process in order to help people
achieve their goals and dreams. The FPA believes that everyone needs
objective advice to make smart financial decisions and that when
seeking the advice of a financial planner, the planner should be a
CFP(R) licensee.
