Your Chapter has Been Recognized Nationally for excellence! We were honored to be recognized nationally by the FPA as the recipient of five 2015 Outstanding

Achievement Awards for events conducted throughout 2014! We could not achieve any of this without the

hard work of our leadership and your attendance, feedback and support.

A summary of the awards won is below:

1. Career Fair

Our Career Fair is an annual event for local employers, students of nearby financial planning programs and

the occasional career changer. The first Career Day was in 2014 and it was so popular we had to search out

larger locations for future events. The Career Day this year was a great success with over 70 students in

attendance and almost 30 firms interviewing. Firms and students are matched up (based on resume review

and open positions) for introductory 20-minute interviews. While 20 minutes isn’t a lot of time, it allows

firms and candidates to get to know one another in person and allows for many interviews throughout the day.

In addition to interviews, the chapter is invited to lunch where we have a great speaker each year. There are

also roundtable events for candidates not in interviews and panel discussions for all attendees at the end of the

day. We hope you will join us for Career Day 2016 on February 19th! Register here NOW.

2. Name Tags

At our 2014 Winter Symposium, we updated the format of our attendee nametags to include more information

and to make them easier to read. We included notations about whether the attendee was a sponsor or speaker

(much like is done at larger conferences) and added QR codes with each attendee’s information (to be easily

shared while networking). In addition, the back of the name tags included the schedule for all upcoming FPA

NCA events which provided attendees with an easy and quick way to see what they could expect. We hope

you will join us for our 2016 Winter Symposium on January 22nd! Register here NOW.

3. Membership Research Initiative

In 2014 we launched a project to learn about the demographics of our members – location, position, type of

firm, business model, professional designation, and tenure as an FPA member. Gathering this information

allowed us to more clearly communicate the composition of our membership and the value for sponsors and

potential sponsors in getting involved. This project also spurred a project to track member attendance at

events so we can analyze which events attract the most attendees and which may need to be rethought in the

future due to lack of interest.

4. 2014 NexGen Retreat

In 2014, we held the first annual NexGen retreat – a one-day symposium for NexGen members held in DC,

followed by a social outing to a Washington Nationals game. This event was modeled after the annual

national NexGen gathering and is intended to gather NexGen members with their peers for a day of learning,

networking and collaboration. We have educational sessions for continuing education credits and informal

round-table discussions about topics attendees are passionate to discuss. Hosting the event on a weekend day

allowed many NexGen members from all around the DMV area to attend without having to take time off of

work. We hope you will join us for our 2016 NexGen Retreat (date TBD)!

5. NexGen Study Groups

Three times a year, NexGen members gather at a local office kind enough to offer us their space and do mini-

retreat sessions. We have done many educational sessions for one hour of continuing education credit. We

have also done traditional study group discussions – attendees are surveyed before the event for

topics/questions/ideas they would like to discuss and those topics/questions/ideas are gathered and discussed

at the event. These events provide an informal setting for NexGen members to get to know their peers and

discuss topics that may be uncomfortable to discuss with bosses and managers. Study groups are done for

2015, but we hope you will join us for at least one in 2016!

University of Maryland, UMUC CFP Student Receives 2015-2016 FPA NCA Scholarship

In August 2015 the Financial Planning Association of the National Capital Area (FPA NCA) decided to

award the newly approved University of Maryland, UMUC Registered Certified Financial Planning (CFP) Program with a

$2,000 scholarship for an undergraduate CFP Financial Planning student. The following is the process that UMUC followed to

determine the scholarship winner, Debra Stanley.

1. All CFP students in the UMUC CFP database were notified of the FPA NCA Scholarship.

2. All Finance faculty received a FPA NCA Scholarship notice to post as a Class Announcement.

3. Students responded by submitting an application form, an essay about why they wanted to be a CFP, a recommendation

from one individual, and a listing of any awards or honors they had attained.

4. The UMUC CFP Program Director, Dr. Peter Munger and Academic Officer Kathleen Sindell, Ph.D. reduced the

applications to two candidates.

5. The FPA NCA Scholarship applications where sent to the UMUC CFP Advisory Board. The UMUC CFP Advisory Board

selected Debra Stanley as the best candidate for the scholarship.

One UMUC CFP Advisory Board member had this to say about Ms. Stanley, “I would like to submit my vote for Debra Stanley.

Debra's story was both inspiring and encouraging. I would be delighted to see her passion for leadership and the law be

strengthened by an interest in becoming a certified financial planner. I was definitely moved by her expressed determination and

optimistic outlook for a future career of helping others.

Trends in Adviser Compensation and Benefits Study Now Available!

FPA members can now access the 2015 Trends in Adviser Compensation and Benefits Study, which was done by

the FPA Research and Practice Institute™ and Financial Advisor IQ (a news service of the Financial Times). The

research helps all planners and their support staff understand trends in compensation and benefits.

While the study sought to create a valuable compensation benchmark resource for those currently working in the

financial advice profession, or seeking a position, the study examined the impact that compensation, benefits and

work environment have on job satisfaction and engagement.

The full report, which is now available at www.OneFPA.org/2015CompensationStudy, is a must read for anyone

working in the financial advisory space. Download a copy of the report and see how your compensation and benefits

package stacks up with other firms across the country.

2014 Pro Bono Impact Report Now Available!

Please review the Pro Bono Impact Report for 2014 and see how many lives were touched by our Pro Bono Efforts

through the Financial Planning Association and the Foundation for Financial Planning. Please see page 7 of the

report for specific information on how our National Capital Area Chapter helped in these pro bono efforts!

Please see Report on our website HERE!

Get the Latest Original Research on Investing by RPI and Journal of Financial Planning

The FPA Research and Practice Institute™ (RPI) has been engaging in original research on a wide array of subjects of

importance to financial planners and the latest study is now available. The 2015 Trends in Investing Survey, done in

collaboration with the Journal of Financial Planning, looks at how financial planners are using and recommending different

investment vehicles today and where they will look to invest over the coming year. The survey, which has been conducted

regularly since 2006, revealed that Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have supplanted mutual funds as the preferred investment

vehicle by planners.

And keep an eye out for more research coming out later this year, including a social media study that was conducted in

partnership with LinkedIn and a Social Security study that is being done with AARP and CNBC.

CFP BOARD LAUNCHES CENTER FOR FINANCIAL PLANNING,

TD AMERITRADE INSTITUTIONAL IS LEAD FOUNDING SPONSOR

Nov 18, 2015

Center will focus on building a more diverse and sustainable financial planner workforce Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board) today announced the creation of the CFP Board Center for Financial Planning with a Lead Founding Sponsor contribution from TD Ameritrade Institutional. The Center will deliver on CFP Board’s mission to benefit the public, with a focus on fostering a more diverse and sustainable financial planner workforce and establishing an academic home and body of knowledge for the profession, in order to meet Americans’ increasing need for competent and ethical financial advice. “CFP Board sits at the crossroads of the financial planning profession. And CFP Board’s Center for Financial Planning will serve as the catalyst, unifying response to the major challenges facing the financial planning profession,” said CFP Board’s Chief Executive Officer Kevin R. Keller, CAE. “With the support of academic institutions, educators, researchers, firms and practitioners from all corners of the profession, the Center will build a financial planner workforce for the 21st century.” The CFP Board Center for Financial Planning will bring a variety of stakeholders to this broad collaboration, including the almost 73,000 CFP® professionals; over 230 colleges and universities that offer a CFP Board Registered Program; researchers from financial planning and numerous related disciplines; key individuals and organizations that focus on racial and gender equality; and large and small firms, representing each geographical region and business model within the profession. The Center will conduct research, convene forums and support initiatives in three key areas:

NextGen Pipeline: Attract and develop the next generation of financial planning professionals, providing them the knowledge and skills to competently and ethically serve the public.

Diversity: Address the lack of gender and racial diversity within the financial planning profession to better mirror the diversity of the American public through a systematic approach that brings research to action to results for the broader profession.

Academic Home: Build an academic home for the profession, bringing researchers from financial planning and related disciplines to conduct research that directly impacts practice, while providing opportunities for faculty to generate and publish new research that adds to the body of knowledge.

As the Lead Founding Sponsor of the Center, TD Ameritrade Institutional is making a five-year multi-million dollar commitment to support these important initiatives, continuing its longstanding commitment to workforce development. “We believe that CFP Board’s Center for Financial Planning will serve as a catalyst for the industry to come together around the challenges of workforce development, diversity and building a body of knowledge for financial planning,” said Tom Nally, president of TD Ameritrade Institutional. “The work the Center does will be influential to the success, health and sustainability of the profession.” According to recent research conducted by CFP Board, 40 percent of Americans now work with financial advisors, compared to 28 percent in 2010, reflecting the increasing demand for personal financial advice. At the same time, the financial planning workforce is aging and shrinking and does not currently represent the diverse population it serves. In addition, the profession faces a shortage of qualified faculty to teach the next generation of planners and conduct academic research that contributes to the financial planning body of knowledge.

“The work of the Center cannot be done by one organization or firm. It will take the collective effort of financial services

firms, academic institutions, educators and practitioners across the country to address these challenges facing the

profession,” said Richard P. Rojeck, CFP® and chairman of CFP Board’s Board of Directors. “We invite all who share in our
