About FPA of the East Bay

The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional’s partner in planning.

Since our founding in 2000 with the merger of the IAFP and ICFP, FPA has been the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional’s partner in planning by helping them realize their vision of success with practice support, learning, advocacy, and networking.

Come shadow a board meeting, which take place for about an hour after our monthly chapter meetings. To learn more about opportunities to join the board, or to attend a Board meeting as a guest, please contact our Current President.

The FPA East Bay Board​ of Directors is responsible for setting the vision and strategic direction for the Financial Planning Association.

Using FPA’s core beliefs as the key filters for making decisions in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of members and constituents, Board members must think strategically, engage in open dialogue, and work collaboratively.

Board members (excluding the president-elect, president, and past president) are elected to an initial three-year term, based on the calendar year.

Those who are elected to the Executive Committee serve an additional three years, one year each as president-elect, pre​sident, and past president, in that order. FPA’s CEO serves as Board secretary.
