FPSC calls for nominations for awards

Johnston led FPSC through its initial successful decade of development and operation as the standard-setting organization for the emerging financial planning profession in Canada. The DJJ Award recognizes individuals’ lifetime achievement of advancing Certified Financial Planner certification and contributions to the financial planning profession based on specific criteria. In previous years, the DJJ Award has been awarded to Donald J. Johnston, Alastair Rickard, Jim Rogers, Patricia Lovett-Reid, Michael E. Lem and Randy Reynolds.

Fellow of FPSC: Now in its third year, the Fellow of FPSC distinction formally recognizes individuals who have helped advance FPSC’s vision of seeing Canadians improve their lives by engaging in financial planning. The granting of the Fellow of FPSC distinction is based on nominees fulfilling at least two of the three following criteria: advancement of FPSC’s vision and mission through volunteering; advancement of CFP professional standards; and embodiment of CFP professional standards.

“FPSC could not fulfill its vision without the help of so many people who have invested generously with their time, knowledge and experience to advance financial planning in Canada,” says Cary List, president and CEO, FPSC. “We encourage people to acknowledge the efforts of their peers and colleagues, and consider nominating those who meet the criteria for either of these two honours.”

Nominations for both the DJJ Award and Fellow of FPSC will be accepted until April 17. For further details about the nomination criteria and guidelines for both recognition programs, click here.

The award recipients will be honoured at FPSC’s Celebration of the Profession reception during Financial Planning Week.
