Advocacy Committee

Collaborates with the FPA of California state-wide chapter to bring attention and awareness to public policy, topics and issues facing the financial planning industry and financial planners. We work to coordinate local and statewide advocacy events held twice a year where we meet with members elected state and federal representatives and regulatory bodies. We look to build relationships with these individuals to support initiatives like title protection for financial planners, and advocating for financial literacy in schools.
