What an incredible day! In commemoration of surpassing 100,000 CFP® professionals, Simone Lee Alston, CFP®, CRPC™ (Merrill Lynch), the 100,000th CFP® certificant, rang the NYSE Closing Bell.
As CFP Board Chair Matthew B. Boersen, CFP®, CFA said so beautifully, “The bell is a symbol of the boundless opportunities that lie ahead and our shared commitment to progress.”
I’m so proud to work alongside so many remarkable people committed to advancing the financial planning profession for the benefit of the public. And I’m honored to be part of this community that improves millions of lives in this country every year.
