State of the ChapterAs our country begins the political season, themedia coverage and the commercials havesteered my thoughts towards a State of theChapter Address. We have accomplishedmuch so far this year and there is still morecoming! Read on for a general overview ofwhat's going on.
Great Events On TapOn October 1st, we will hold our second annual Financial Planning Day at Benjamin Franklin High School, 550 NorthBroad Street in Philadelphia. We need volunteers, especiallySpanish speaking planners. If you would like to volunteer, visitwww.FinancialPlanningDays.org/PhiladelphiaVolunteerto register.
On October 5th, we will jointly present Financial Service SuperDay with NAIFA of Greater Philadelphia. It is a full day of greatprograms, and it will be held at the Double Tree Guest Suitesin Plymouth Meeting.
On October 17th, we will host our annual Fall Retreat which isthe perfect balance of continuing education and great fun.
On November 16th, we will have our last member meeting for2011. See our website for more information about all of theseevents.
Financials Are StrongAs you may know, funding for our chapter comes from threesources: sponsors (thank you sponsors), registration fees fromour events, and we receive a small portion of the dues ourmembers pay for their National FPA membership. I ampleased to report that we have established a reserve equal toslightly more than one year's worth of chapter expenses. Thisamount of reserve is commonly viewed as appropriate forresponsible fiscal policy in non-profit organizations. Our finan-cials are available to members upon request.
Succession Plan in PlaceIn early September, the board voted on the 2012 slate of officers. In our chapter, the membership elects the board of directors and the board of directors elects the officers. Wehave a nice mix of returning officers and directors and somenew ones as well. Bottom line-our chapter is in great hands for2012 and beyond.
ChallengesThe Philadelphia Tri-State Chapter is known among other
chapters as the chapter that speaks its mind and doesn't mince words.We wear that reputation with pride, and in that vane, how could I writeabout our successes without writing about our challenges?
Yes, membership has declined since the market peaked in 2007, butthat really hasn't been our greatest concern. So what keeps us up atnight? Our members keep us up at night! Are they happy? Do theylike our CE offerings? Do they want more social events? We knowfrom our 2009 member survey that our involved members are happymembers. So, how do we get more members involved? Will you helpus?
We have so many opportunities to get involved, from pro bono, to educational programs, to working on the website, to increasing thepublic's awareness of what we do. We have small projects that willonly take an hour or two of your time, or we have larger projects thatwill allow you to really shine. Not much experience in the industry? Noproblem. Bring fresheyes and fresh ideas,and in return you willhave one heck of a greataccomplishment to puton your resume! Cometo our member meetings.Don't know anyone?You will. We have a “NoOne Stands Alone” poli-cy. Come on out andyou will be glad you did.
If I can help or answer any questions, please don't hesitate to call or e-mail me.

The CFP® Board has decided to reform the Ethics curriculum and requirements. Effective October 1, 2011, CEprograms for renewal of the CFP® certificate will need to meet new learning objectives which include defining thefinancial planning process and its material elements. With more oversight by the CFP® Board, recognizing ethicalissues becomes more critical. You won’t want to miss this interactive program where you get to be the “judge”,“jury”, or an “executioner” while we examine several ethical case studies and discuss how the financial planningprocess would apply.Joel is President and CEO of Professional Training Services, Inc., a Certified Provider for insurance pre-licensing and insurance education.As an active financial planning practitioner and money manager, Joel maintains his insurance producer’s license for Life, Health, Propertyand Casualty insurance as well as numerous NASD securities licenses.

Human Resources By: William G. Love, CFP®
Vice President, Human Resources
To our fellow FPA Philadelphia Tri-State members:
Our message continues to be “we are at your service.”
The message of being at your service is what we as planners live by in serving our clients. As youread this newsletter, we encourage you to pause and reflect on the recent events that have takenplace. We have had an earthquake, hurricane and extreme volatility in the stock market. These
uncontrollable events are difficult for us planners to sort out and then properly advise our clients on how to bestnavigate through. However, one way to decrease some of the difficulty is to exchange ideas with one another.
Below are some of the ways that we can come together as a community and share ideas:
• Study groups• Online discussions• Blogs• Quarterly meetings• Reach out to another member via email, phone, etc.
Our hope is that you take advantage of some of the avenues men-tioned. We believe that it is not just our responsibility to be of serv-ice to our clients, but we must also be of service to ourselves.
It is like when the airline steward instructs all parents to put the oxygen mask on themselves before putting it ontheir children. We need to do the same!
We look forward to seeing you at the next meeting for some oxygen.
Continued success,
William G. Love, CFP®Marshall Financial [email protected]

Education Report By: John Kilroy, CFP®, CPAVice President, Education
Fall Retreat - Do Ethics and Golf Really Mix?
As it is our custom, we invite one and all to share in our chapter's retreat.This year, the combination of morning education and afternoon golf will beheld at the DuPont Country Club in Wilmington, Delaware on Monday, October 17th.
To make sure everyone is in the right frame of mind for golf, we will beginthe day with our friend Joel Weiner and his two hour ethics presentation. This year Joel will famil-iarize everyone through a series of interactive case studies with the recent changes in the ethicsrequirement mandated by the CFP® board. While you may not get the chance to be the rules guyin our golf outing, you could serve in that role in Joel's session.
If you have already fulfilled your ethics requirement, we are offering two breakout sessions for youto begin the day. The first will focus on enhancing your communication skills, especially that peskylistening skill. Shari Harley has spoken to audiences around the world to many organizations andcompanies and will share her experiences with us. Shari will be followed by Matthew Gorke. IfMatthew's name does not sound familiar to you, I'm sure it will by the end of his presentation as hewill be assisting all of us in an area where I suspect we could all benefit - strengthening our memory. We believe the combination of Shari and Matthew will provide a unique experience for all.
After you visit with our sponsors, the educationportion of the day ends with....education! Betterstated, we are pleased to welcome Joe Hurleywho is widely regarded as the foremost educationplanning expert in the country. Joe will offer insighton the latest developments affecting educationfunding alternatives derived from his extensiveresearch and his vast supply of anecdotal exam-ples.
The afternoon will offer its own challenges as weestablish our relationship with, gather data on,analyze and develop strategy around, and imple-ment and monitor each shot taken over 18 holesat DuPont. Have fun!

Since January 2005, we have been required to report all CE credits electronically to the CFPBoard of Standards. We are having difficulty with this process because members are notproviding the necessary information.

There has also been a change in the reporting process of CE credits for the PA Department ofInsurance. Social Security Numbers are no longer accepted for reporting. Please provide yourPA Insurance License Number when applying for credit.
It is quite time-consuming for our administrator to follow-up with attendees to obtain the cor-rect information. Help us help you by being prepared and having this information when youare applying for CE credits.
The Philadelphia 2nd Annual Financial Planning Day
Saturday, October 1st 10:30AM to 3:30PMBen Franklin High School
550 N. Broad StreetPhiladelphia, PA 19130
Our “big day” – Financial Planning Day – is quickly approaching and we would love for you to be a partof it. This is an opportunity to acquaint the public with financial planning professionals and the work wedo for our group to give back to the community. Like last year, we will have planners on hand to provideone-on-one counseling sessions and we will have a number of speakers. We expect this event to drawa big crowd – we are getting the word out earlier than last year and the Mayor’s office has really gottenbehind this event.
We have a number of presentations scheduled on the following topics: Managing Credit, Budgeting 101,Saving for College, Retirement and Investing, Finding Money and Resources for Elder-care, andForeclosure Prevention. At this point, we have all the speakers we need for this year's event, but if youare interested in speaking at next year's Financial Planning Day, please email Sharon Bonnem ([email protected]) with a brief description of the topic. We would love to take advantage of your expert-ise and expand the topics.
We observed things that worked – and didn’t work – about last year’s events and made several changesto make the event flow more smoothly – better signage, a later starting time (moved from 9AM to10:30AM) and we’ll even have better food for the volunteers!
The questions and concerns that most attendees have center on basics such as cash flow, savings, anddebt. We will have volunteers from Consumer Credit Counseling Services on hand for the more com-plicated debt management issues, as well as a representative of the Philadelphia Council for CommunityAdvancement to answer questions and discuss solutions to mortgage delinquency.
In addition to connecting to the public, this is a great way to connect to your fellow planners. We areplanning a volunteer appreciation event for later this year so you will have the opportunity to reconnectwith your fellow volunteers and share your experiences.
We need you. If you haven’t yet signed up, please visit: http://www.financialplanningdays.org/Content/cityselectstep2.aspx?City=Philadelphia&rt=CFPand click on the registration link.
Mark your calendars and save November 30th for our Media Training and Volunteer appreciation eventat The Union League in Philadelphia. Details to follow after Financial Planning Day.
Thank you!
