The Financial Planning Days are brought to you by four national non-profit organizations:

Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board)
CFP Board is a non-profit standards-setting organization whose mission is to benefit the public by granting the CFP® certification and upholding it as a recognized standard of excellence for personal financial planning. CFP Board owns the certification marks CFP, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and in the U.S. and currently authorizes over 63,000 individuals to use these marks. CFP® certification is granted to individuals who hold a bachelor's degree, complete a financial planning curriculum, pass a comprehensive 10-hour examination, demonstrate that they have at least three years of professional experience in financial services, and agree to abide by CFP Board's Code of Ethics that requires CFP® professionals to provide financial planning services as a fiduciary – acting in the best interests of their clients. CFP Board’s disciplinary enforcement of its ethical standards further distinguishes CFP® certification from other industry designations.
