FPA Awards


The FPA’s Best Practice Awards recognise the superior outcomes for clients when professional financial planning expertise is provided in line with the FPA Code of Professional Practice and Code of Ethics. In conjunction with Future2, an award category was also introduced in recognition of those members who have made an outstanding contribution to the wider community.

FPA Best Practice Awards will be awarded for the following categories (both at a Chapter and National level):

  • FPA CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® Professional Best Practice Award
  • FPA Associate Financial Planner Best Practice Award
  • Future2 Community Service Best Practice Award

The 2012 FPA Best Practice Awards will open for submissions in September.

 

FPA Distinguished Service Award

The Distinguished Service Award (DSA) recognises exceptional contribution to the work of the FPA and the common good of the profession through voluntary service to FPA Chapters, Committees or taskforces.

 

FPA Fellow Award

The Fellow Award recognises those that have made an outstanding and selfless contribution to the profession and the community. Award recipients will have demonstrated leadership and will command the respect of peers as exemplary role models.
