We value our members and
recognize that as a volunteer
organization it takes various
skills and knowledge to operate
effectively. We
have nine committees who work
together toward the following
goals:
Career Development
– To help new planners break
into our growing profession and
to help all planners learn about
opportunities for growth and
advancement.
Corporate Partnerships
– To gain financial support for
our non-profit association goals
and to provide interaction
between our members and the
companies that can provide
products and services to assist
in meeting the needs of clients.
Council Liaison - To
expand chapter member
meetings (Councils), member
networking opportunities and
community events to new
areas throughout the state.

interest before local
lawmaking bodies, as well as
to stay informed and have a
voice in our government so
that we can see that wise
decisions are made to
support all of our futures.

firms within the financial
community, promoting the

bring the community
