Financial Planning Coalition Launches New Website to Inform and Engage Stakeholders for Legislative, Regulatory Advocacy
The new website – located at www.FinancialPlanningCoalition.com – provides regular updates on the policy issues impacting the delivery of financial planning services to the public, and makes it easier for the Coalition’s nearly 80,000 stakeholders to take action on the issues.
“As the Coalition continues to advocate before policymakers for increased consumer and investor protection in financial planning, we recognized a need to revisit our web presence to more effectively communicate our mission and policy objectives,” said the Coalition. “Our goal is to ensure that the voices of financial planners are heard on the issues of importance to the public and our profession, including the extension of a uniform fiduciary standard of care to broker-dealers and greater investment adviser oversight.”
In addition, the Coalition sought to refresh its branding to better reflect the collaboration and cooperation essential to this partnership in a distinctive, bold and contemporary fashion. The seal with interlocking letters forming the core of the logo is intended to represent this collaboration, while the color palette incorporates an element of each partner organization’s branding.
