Member-Get-A-Member Program

The 2010 Member-Get-A-Member (MGAM) program at FPA has been designed with our members' best interests in mind. 

Here is how it will work:

1. Our members are our most valuable resource, and for each referral that joins FPA as a paying member, you will continue to receive a coupon toward your annual membership dues!
2. In addition, we will incorporate a tiered recognition program to take the place of the prizes offered in the past.

The program will run on a yearly basis to coincide with FPA's Annual Conference and will have five cumulative levels:

• 1-star: Refer 3–5 paying members
• 2-star: Refer 6–9 paying members
• 3-star: Refer 10–14 paying members
• 4-star: 15–19 paying members
• 5-star: 20 or more paying members

Refer to Win! In addition, with each referral that joins FPA as a full-paying member, you'll be entered to win a stay at one of the amazing resorts listed below. Another benefit of this arrangement is that these resorts graciously offered free rooms in exchange for advertising space throughout this campaign. So, there is no cost to FPA and no cost to you.

We would like to thank you for your continued commitment to FPA and the financial planning profession. With your support, we are creating greater visibility, stature and recognition as a true profession and have taken our rightful position as a trusted source in the public dialogue about how consumers can benefit from competent and ethical financial planning.

Thank you for helping us to create a world where everyone thrives and prospers. More information on the program will be coming soon.

Contacting Referrals
