Future2 charity partner at FPA conference
The financial planning industry charitable foundation, Future 2, raised $160,000 last year and has been named the charity of choice for this year’s Financial Planning Association (FPA) conference on the Gold Coast.
The Future 2 chairman, AMP’s Steve Helmich, said that over $11,000 had been raised at last year’s FPA conference and this year’s venue would create the opportunity for planners to make a similar contribution.
