The Financial Planning Standards Council Friday announce the recipients of the Fellow of FPSC distinction. These individuals will be honoured during Financial Planning Week’s Celebration of the Profession Reception in Toronto on October 19. The Fellow distinction is conferred to individuals who have helped advance FPSC’s vision of seeing Canadians improve their lives by engaging in financial planning.

“The long-standing and sustained contributions of the people in this first-ever group of Fellow of FPSC recipients are exceptional. Their contributions have made an important impact in helping to build this profession and advance financial planning,” says Cary List, president and CEO, FPSC.

To become a Fellow, candidates must be nominated by at least two other individuals and meet at least two of the following criteria: advancement of FPSC’s vision and mission through volunteering with FPSC; advancement of Certified Financial Planner professional standards; and embodiment of CFP professional standards.

Examples of contributions from this group of Fellow of FPSC recipients include 
long-standing and exemplary service to FPSC through volunteerism; promotion of financial planning and CFP certification as the profession of choice to the next generation; significant involvement in FPSC’s examination development process; direct and broad support of the CFP designation within industry; and extensive promotion of financial planning and CFP certification to Canadians on a 
grassroots level.
