Mission

The NAPFA Pride Committee strives to attract, support, educate, and develop the community as leaders within the financial advisory profession and to raise awareness of the need for more advisors serving and supporting the LGBTQ+ community.

We work toward this mission by building a community of advisors, providing programs at NAPFA events, attracting media attention through articles in financial publications, and providing networking, advocacy, and mentorship opportunities to the community.

The NAPFA Pride Committee will have the following responsibilities:

1. Conduct two conversations circles on an annual basis, including choosing the topic and facilitator.
2. Fostering a community for the LGBTQ+ NAPFA members and allies.
3. Executing on webinars in partnership with NAPFA’s Professional Development & Education Committee.
4. Partner with other organizations or individuals to increase awareness.
5. Periodically volunteer to provide content for the NAPFA Advisor magazine to ensure that the Committee contributes to the magazine on at least a quarterly basis.
6. Act as ambassadors for the LGBTQ+ community and encourage members in the financial planning profession, which may include, but is not limited to community outreach, mentorship opportunities, media contact, and other activities.
