Don’t Miss our June 3, 2015 Spring Symposium!

7AM – 6PM – McLean Hilton, McLean, VA

Key Note Speaker: Ed Slott

Presenting: Ed Slott’s 2015 Action Plan:

A Business-Building Program for Financial Advisors

2015 Brings New Opportunities for Top Advisors

to Showcase their Retirement Panning Expertise

Stealth taxes are back and tax bracket management is critical. The tax planning paradigm has

changed - income and retirement tax planning for your best clients will trump traditional planning. Life insurance

and other tax free solutions are more valuable. Your top clients and prospects are the prime targets and need help

navigating an increasingly complex tax code that will erode their retirement income and leave less for heirs. Many

of these problems are already lurking under the hood of their retirement plans waiting to strike at the worst

possible time – at retirement, when the funds are needed the most. Learn how to create lasting practical retirement,

tax and estate plans that showcase your expertise, and eliminate your competition for good.

Don’t Miss this Symposium! Register on line at www.fpanca.org!

Financial Planning Association National Capital Area: Night at the Ballpark

With pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training it can mean only one thing. The “Boys of Summer” will be

kicking off their season shortly.

This year our Washington Nationals are predicted to be one of the top teams in the league with many high hopes for the

home team. With the addition of Max Scherzer in the off season and the return of a healthy Stephen Strasberg and Jordan

Zimmerman; the Nationals are widely regarded as having the best pitching line up in baseball with plenty of talent on

offense too.

Mark your calendars for the first ever Financial Planning Association National Capital Area: Night at the Ballpark. We

have secured a limited number of tickets for our group the evening of Saturday, August 8th, with a 7:00 PM game against

the Colorado Rockies.

Our group will be seated together in right field; just below the Family Picnic Area and have reserved the family picnic

area starting at 5:30 PM until the start of the game. Ticket price includes game admission as well as a classic picnic

package consisting of burgers, dogs, field greens, chips, assorted soft drinks, and water melon wedges.

Ticket price is $40 pp. We have a limited number of tickets so once they are gone they are gone!
