Planning Ahead: 2019 CFP Board Registered Programs Conference

Scroll down to see more content

Two students from Bauer share their experience at the 2019 CFP Board Registered Programs Conference they attended in February.

 

Emma Eyvazian
Senior, finance

I went into the 2019 CFP Board Registered Programs Conference not knowing what to expect.  I didn’t know that I would learn a whole lot about the day-to-day life of a certified financial planner.  It felt like all the presentations were answers to questions I didn’t even know I had.  I personally went so that I could learn more about the financial planning industry and how to put my best foot forward and excel where I can. 

I initially chose the Personal Financial Planning track because I thought it would be able to help me in my personal life.  I never would have guessed that there would be so many opportunities from just picking this specific track; the world has opened up for me and I could not have done it without the C. T. Bauer College of Business and Professor John Lopez.  I am going to continuing my education in the Masters of Science in Finance program here at UH.

Justin Brown
Senior, finance

The 2019 CFP Board Registered Programs Conference was a great opportunity to learn more about the community of CFPs and represent UH in forum that I could make the most of. I gained valuable contacts, learned information I had not been exposed to before, and bonded with UH colleagues, professors, and administrators. Most of the students that I was able to connect with have graduated so the experience to come in contact with similar minded students has become invaluable.

I am the founding member of the Student Financial Planner’s Association within Bauer, and I am a current member of the Financial Planner’s Association Houston Chapter so, this was a golden opportunity to learn more about the governing bodies of the organizations that support these organizations. It was a golden opportunity to meet and network with people outside of my comfort zone, to grow as a certificant, and place myself in better position to pass the CFP test.

It turned out to be a great conversation piece with former alumni, current students, and networking opportunities.
