The International Foundation for Retirement Education (InFRE) and the InFRE^® Retirement Resource Center (IRRC) are pleased to announce a new alliance program with the Financial Planning Association^® (FPA^®). The FPA is the largest membership organization for personal financial planning experts in the U.S. with over 24,000 members, and includes professionals from all backgrounds and business models.

CRC^® Certificants and CRC^® Registrants can now receive discounts on FPA’s Virtual Learning Center archives to broaden your financial and retirement planning knowledge while fulfilling continuing education requirements. You are also now eligible for a membership discount program and access to 108 FPA membership benefits. FPA provides members with opportunities to continue their lifelong learning pursuits in specialty areas of financial planning to help them grow professionally and better serve their clients. Learn more by logging into InFRE's secured site.

Current FPA members, many of whom are already Certified Financial Planner^® professionals, will now have discounted access to InFRE’s research-based, practitioner-defined certification and education resources.

Phase Two of our strategic alliance will provide FPA members and CRC^®s an opportunity to benefit from jointly-created retirement and income planning education offerings and research that allow professionals to continue to “raise the bar” when serving the retirement needs of their clients.

InFRE and the IRRC are devoted to enhancing the retirement preparedness of middle-income Americans by providing a retirement-specific accredited certification program, training, and continuing education developed by professionals for professionals. Together with the FPA, we hope to expand the reach of financial planning within the retirement planning community to positively impact the ability of InFRE CRC^® Certificants and Candidates to help middle-income clients retire with confidence.
