SUMMARY:May 2018 Joint Brown Bag / Student Forum Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nGenerational Differences in Client Engagement: How to Adapt to Different Generational Needs and Capabilities\n****Please join us in this collaborative session between the UCSCX In Silicon Valley’s PFP Student Forum Group\, and the FPASV’s Brown Bag Lunch team. A light lunch will be served. Registration is required and seating will be limited.**** \nEngaging clients effectively has become increasingly challenging in today’s world\, not because it’s difficult to find a way to communicate with clients but because there’s often uncertainty about how best to communicate with different generations from the young to the elderly. \nFinancial Advisers typically have clients that run the gamut of demographics and must adapt accordingly. In this session\, we will hear from a few advisers on the different expectations\, needs\, beliefs\, and capabilities of clients from the “major” generations: Baby Boomers\, Generation Xers\, and Millennials. \nThis will be an interactive panel session\, with the audience leading with specific questions. The content is expected to include the different financial needs and priorities of each group\, client expectations for their advisers and themselves\, preferred communication methods and styles\, uses of technology\, and other areas. It is also expected that some common assumptions/perceptions about each group may be dispelled or confirmed. \nRegistration for this free event is available here.  Registration closes May 16th.  Badges will be prepared for those registering for this event.  Walk-ins may be restricted. \nMeeting Schedule: 11:30 am – 12:00 pm (Networking / Light Lunch Served); 12:00 pm (Presentation Begins); 1:30 pm (Meeting Ends) \nPanelists’ Biographies: \nEric Solve\, CFP®\,EA\, Partner at Wade Financial Advisory    Eric is a Senior Advisor and partner at Wade Financial Advisory.  He is a Certified Financial Planner® and an Enrolled Agent.  He is passionate about family\, client relationships\, professional growth\, and feels his life experiences are his greatest assets.  He is an active member of the FPA of Silicon Valley and served on the board of directors for several years.  He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing from San Diego State University\, and received a Certificate in Personal Financial Planning from the University of California at Santa Cruz Extension.  Eric\, his wife Bridget\, and their two daughters live in the Santa Cruz Mountains.  They enjoy outdoor activities\, cooking\, spending time with friends and family\, and appreciate traveling to new places. \nLloyd Yamada\, CFP®\, CEO\, Aspire Planning Associates    Lloyd began his professional life in electrical engineering as a student at University of Hawaii and then at Stanford Telecom for nearly a decade before transitioning into a new career as a financial planner in his mid-40s.

SUMMARY:Student Forum - Other Career Options with Your CFP® Designation
DESCRIPTION:Student Forum Meetings are intended for those students at UCSC-Extension who are enrolled in the Personal Financial Planning Program and for members of the Financial Planning Association (any chapter). These meetings are not open to the public. \nOverview:\nOther Career Options with Your CFP® Designation\nMost students\, upon completion of the UCSC-Extension Personal Financial Planning coursework\, begin their job search with “traditional” financial planning firms – those providing full service financial planning support to their client base. But\, as with other professions\, there are often other\, nontraditional\, sources of employment for the newer practitioners. We have recruited a panel of 3-4 professionals that have found\, either currently\, or in a previous position\, employment utilizing their CFP® designation in somewhat nontraditional areas: Credit Unions\, Financial Coaching\, and others. \nCome join us for this lively and informative panel of professionals sharing their experiences. Whether you know exactly what path you plan to follow or are still weighing your options\, this talk will provide you with valuable information. \nThere is no charge for this event\, which is open to FPA members and UCSC Ext. PFP students only. \nAbout the Speaker:\nChris S. Blodgett began his career in financial services over 17 years ago upon moving to the South Bay Area to attend school.
