President
Welcome to the web site of the Financial Planning Association of Rhode Island (FPARI). The vision for the FPARI is the following:.
For its members, the Financial Planning Association of Rhode Island seeks to cultivate a strong knowledge base for financial planning, to share best practices, and to facilitate professional development consistent with the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards’ updated Standards of Professional Conduct.
For the financial planning consumer, FPARI promotes relationships that offer complete transparency, clearly understood financial planning services and high standards of conduct. Financial planning offered by our members is expected to be delivered in accordance with the FPA’s Standard of Care which requires the practitioner to put the client’s interests first and provide disclosure of all material facts and any conflicts of interest..
For the public, the chapter will serve those in our community who cannot afford a financial planner by offering pro-bono and consumer outreach programs designed to help the less fortunate negotiate financial challenges..
We welcome any feedback from our members. Please e-mail this year's officers with your thoughts, suggestions and/or concerns. On behalf of the FPA-RI Board, we look forward to a great year!.
