NAPFA Strategic Framework

NAPFA's mission is to provide networking opportunities, education, business development, and advocacy to promote the professional success of fee-only, comprehensive financial planners.

In furtherance of this mission, and to advance financial planning toward acceptance as a profession, NAPFA has developed a strategic framework. This framework is the backbone of all that we do, and guides our strategic and organizational decisions. We measure our success by three key performance indicators:
