FPA Practitioner Resource Guide Offers Tools for Success

As part of its commitment to bring members enhanced practice management support, FPA recently teamed with three outside service providers to help members strengthen their businesses. The new benefits are featured in the FPA Practitioner Resource Guide (www.FPAnet.org/Professionals/Membership/DiscountPrograms), a robust directory of practical solutions and benefits to help planners take their businesses forward. The guide is launching with a host of partnerships and discounted services, and FPA plans to continue to expand it with additional offerings designed to help members succeed.

"FPA is committed to providing innovative tools and resources to help its members stay competitive in a growing profession," said Lauren M. Schadle, CAE, FPA's executive director and CEO. "This is especially relevant to our CFP professional members, who regularly seek out new opportunities to enhance their businesses, and now the FPA Practitioner Resource Guide gives them this in a simple, easy-to-use format."

Each of the new benefits will be offered to FPA members at discounted rates. See www.FPAnet.org/Professionals/Membership/DiscountPrograms for details.
