FPSC unveils new fellowship

The Financial Planning Standards Council (FPSC) has announced a new fellowship program which formally recognizes individuals who have helped advance the organization’s vision of improving lives through financial planning.

The Fellow of FPSC is a lifetime achievement awarded by FPSC. To become a Fellow, individuals must be nominated by at least two other individuals and meet at least two of the following evaluation criteria: advancement of FPSC’s vision and mission through volunteering with FPSC; advancement of CFP professional standards; and embodiment of CFP professional standards.

“Our new program honours individuals who have selflessly contributed so much time and energy to the profession”, says Cary List, President and CEO, FPSC. “FPSC has long recognized that we could not meaningfully advance our mandate without the dedication, commitment and efforts of so many others who share our vision, and I am pleased that we now have a way to formally recognize these contributions

List says volunteers contributed more than 6,000 hours of service to FPSC last year alone.

Nominations will be accepted until September 7, 2011. For further details, click here. The inaugural group of Fellow of FPSC will be announced at FPSC’s Financial Planning Week Reception on October 19, 2011.
