Sydney has been chosen to host the Financial Planning Association’s (FPA) 11th annual convention in 2002.
Sydney has been chosen to host the Financial Planning Association’s (FPA) 11th annual convention in 2002.
Sydney chapter chair Tom Collins has called on the financial planning industry for input and suggestions for the conference which grows exponentially each year.
“We are looking for fresh input,” Collins says.
“We’d like to see some new faces on the committee and we’d like to hear ideas from FPA members about what they might want to see and how the conference can be improved.”
Collins says hosting the conference is a huge effort - logistically and educationally.
“The conference will be even bigger and better in 2002 and it needs to represent all interests of the FPA. Less than 50 per cent of FPA membership in Sydney are practitioners. We’d like to hear ideas on how we can meet the needs of the other 50 per cent.”
Suggestions to date have included a women’s stream, a training manager stream and seminars for compliance managers and business development managers. However, Collins says he welcomes any other ideas.
“We want to be able to offer something for everyone — and that includes non-practitioners,” he says.
