Women & Financial Planning
The Women & Financial Planning group focus on helping local women in Financial Planning advance their careers through mentoring, networking, social gathering and the opportunity to meet with like minded professionals at both the local and national level of the FPA. From a planning perspective investing, budgeting, earning and protecting one’s assets are financial management tasks that have no gender. Yet women often face different challenges than men do, and have different priorities and concerns, that can impact how they handle their finances: They typically live longer than men, earn less, are more apt to take time off from careers, and consider themselves more conservative and less knowledgeable when it comes to money—though that’s changing quickly. Women and Finance Knowledge CircleNational meetings every other 2nd Tuesday at 1 pm ET Meet’s February, April, June, August, October and December. In person meetings are held at Annual Conference, Retreat and through the Knowledge Circle Summit Pre-cons.
CFP BOARD’S WOMEN’S INITIATIVE (WIN)CFP Board has seen impressive growth in the number of CFP® professionals in recent years.
