NAPFA Genesis
NAPFA Genesis is a peer-to-peer networking group designed to encourage professional growth and development among NAPFA members who are 33 years old and younger. As part of their membership, all NAPFA members under the age of 33 are automatically enrolled in NAPFA Genesis. Anyone interested in advancing their career, or lending a hand to those who are just starting out, is invited to participate in NAPFA Genesis.
The group is focused on three primary objectives:
- Discover: Access information and resources about Fee-Only planning and how to serve clients through adherence to a strict fiduciary standard.
- Contribute: Share tools and resources and collaborate to advance themselves and the Fee-Only financial planning profession.
- Advance: Access to current job postings and a network of professionals willing to provide mentorship to peers.
How Do I Get Involved?
Genesis is led by a volunteer committee committed to building the community of young planners within NAPFA. For more information about the committee please visit this page.
If you have any questions about Genesis programs or volunteering, please feel free to contact one of the lead volunteers. For general inquiries, please e-mail Genesis@NAPFA.org.
Engage Community
There are a lot of ways to be involved with NAPFA Genesis. All members 33 and under are automatically entered into the NAPFA Engage Genesis Community, a place where you can privately share questions or thoughts with the other 300-plus members of the community. View the Genesis Community on Engage here.
In the Genesis Facebook group, young planners discuss problems they are working to solve, ask for recommendations, and talk about the next step in their careers. Visit or join the group here (it's an open group, so you don't have to be a member to belong!)
