Bryan Beatty, CFP®, AIF® President’s Message
We are almost half way through the year and we have seen the delay of the Fiduciary Rule twice. Then there was no
further delay on the first round of implementation and a promise for revision, followed by a new rule promised from
the SEC. So, will enforcement on the DOL rule happen in 2018 or will it change some more? Stay tuned. Regardless
of the fact that the rule could change and who will write the final rule might change, one thing is for certain, you
should be changing your business model to a fiduciary style model in order to move into the next generation of
financial advice and planning.
One way to be ready for such change is to be informed. Please join us for a great event next week. Your last chance to
register is TODAY!
This June’s Spring Symposium will address these issues head on. The June symposium is June 5th at the Dulles
Hyatt. “Navigating Change in the Age of Uncertainty”. You can register here to learn how you can compete and
prosper in the changing climate of the new “Fiduciary” world. Speakers will be Wade Pfau, Bob Veres, and Victor
Gaxiola from Hearsay Social to name just a few.
Our charity golf event was another great success. We are looking for feedback on the location for upcoming golf
venues. So, if you have a facility that you would recommend for the event, please email Peggy Nelson with your
comments.

Do you have an opinion about how our industry should work? Then join us for Advocacy Day June 20 -21 (click to

profession. See Parker Trasborg, CFP, [email protected], for details on how to help.

Launching the Encore Group, a new FPA NCA Community
A growing number of newer FPA NCA members are just starting out in our profession as career changers. Like many
of our clients, they are launching second careers – taking the Certified Financial Planner coursework either online or
through a local certification program. This new group will encourage networking between established planners and
new entrants to the field, and will offer opportunities for idea sharing and camaraderie for newly credentialed planners
who don’t quite fit the NexGen mold.
If you are interested in joining the group, please let Susan Chesson know: [email protected]
