Legislative Advocacy

FPA of the East Bay members and chapter leaders travel to Sacramento every March to meet with state lawmakers and regulators on a variety of issues. The goal of advocacy efforts is to share our knowledge of what clients are facing and how legislation may impact clients or the financial planning profession. In June, chapter leaders meet with national lawmakers at FPA’s National Advocacy Day. Members are encouraged to attend, sharing expertise to advise on and learn about relevant, pending legislation. To learn more about participating, or about the latest news from Sacramento, contact our Director of Advocacy.
