We meet you where you are - supporting your professional development on your terms. You may already have a strong financial foundation and want to add coaching skills to your toolbox or maybe you hold a coaching certification and want financial specific coaching training. Coaching is not a replacement for financial counseling or planning but a way of working with clients to support them in taking charge of their financial choices and implementing action plans.
Our training provides a clear process, with a focus on mastery of coaching skills allowing each individual to bring their own unique personality and expertise to the coaching relationship.

AFCPE Annual Research and Training Symposium 2019
Tuesday, November 19 – Thursday, November 21, 2019
Portland, OR
How do I know if I should pay the member or non-member rate for the symposium?
There are two ways to achieve AFCPE member status.
1. If you paid the annual professional member dues of $150 (or $100 for certification candidates or $35 for student members) for the current symposium year (2019), you are entitled to the member registration price. Check your AFCPE membership status at my.afcpe.org.
2. If you attended the symposium the previous year, you automatically received a complimentary membership for the following year. For example, if you attended the AFCPE Symposium in 2018, you are a member for 2019.
Am I a member of AFCPE since I paid my certification annual fee?
The certification program and membership are completely separate. Membership dues are paid annually. Membership dues are $150 for our professional members, $100 for our certification candidate members and $35 for AFCPE student members.
If you have successfully completed the certification program, you will pay an annual fee to maintain your designation ($55 in 2019). If you would like to become a member in addition to maintaining your designation, you would need to pay both the certification annual fee and the membership dues annually.
If I am presenting at the symposium, do I need to register for the symposium?
Yes! Please remember that anyone who will be attending the symposium needs to register.
Do I need to book my hotel room and make my own travel arrangements?
Yes. All symposium registrants are responsible for their travel and hotel arrangements.
