Do you want to do good and feel good?  This is the team for you.  FPA of St. Louis is contacted on a regular basis for help with financial literacy initiatives, pro-bono financial counseling opportunities through organizations, delivering educational workshops/classes, tax preparation assistance, and numerous other opportunities.  The Financial Planning Days opportunity also falls under this committee.  If you would like to help organize or deliver this type of assistance this is the group for you.  Contact Sean Smith.

Programs Committee.
