The Challenge: Growing a community-focused practice with funding barriers
Early in her career, Dr. Brandy Baxter, AFC®, FFC®, worked to develop a private practice while seeking networking and community-building opportunities. Balancing these goals with financial responsibilities proved taxing.
The Solution: Learning about the Symposium Scholarship
Brandy learned about the AFCPE Symposium, an opportunity to connect with other professionals, but costs were an obstacle. She applied for and received a Symposium Scholarship through the Strategic Impact Fund, which supports certification, training, and community-based initiatives.
“I believe that advancement happens when we invest in people. I have seen how Strategic Impact Fund has been used to offer scholarships for new AFCs, improve the quality of our programming, and increase awareness around the services and the great work delivered by our financial professionals.”
