Nurturing a More Diverse Profession – with Rene Jarquin and JonPaul McBride
According to data recently released by the CFP Board, less than 10% of the nearly 100,000 CFP® professionals report as Black, Hispanic, Latino, Asian or Pacific Islander. Only 24% are female. It’s not news that we have much work to do to encourage individuals from underrepresented communities to join our ranks.
On this episode, Kathleen is joined by her fellow FPA of New England chapter members, Rene Jarquin and JonPaul McBride, to talk about their involvement with the New England chapter’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion committee and the work they are doing to advance diversity within our profession. Tune in to learn more about the various initiatives the DE&I committee is pursuing to attract more candidates from diverse backgrounds into the industry, what their experience was like attending the CFP Board’s Diversity Summit, and how they continually adjust and improve their outreach efforts by listening to feedback they have gotten from the students they are trying to reach.
