FPSC President Don Johnston is scheduled to be interviewed on ROB TV on Thursday, November 7. Daytime host, Michael Ainsworth, will conduct the 5 to 6 minute interview, which will run live anytime between 2:30 and 2:45pm EST. ROB TV may run excerpts of the interview later in subsequent newscasts.
Don will talk about the mandate/significance of the new international structure, recently named Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB), which will oversee the CFP mark internationally. He will also speak of his appointment as chair-elect of the advisory board to this council (called FPSB Council) — and what this means for CFP professionals in Canada. Within this context, he will also talk about the value of the designation and the importance of standards in the financial planning arena.
Additionally, on Tuesday, November 12, Don will be interviewed on InvestorCanada, an online news portal affiliated with Canada newswire. Don will talk about his FPSB appointment and the significance of FPSB in Canada and internationally. He will also talk about the value of the CFP designation in the context of standards and the importance of educating the public on how to be more discerning consumers of financial services and advice. This portal attracts many high-profile leaders and is an excellent opportunity to promote CFP and FPSC. The interview will run for about 5-7 minutes and will then be posted as an audio file on the website. A full transcript will also be available. The website is www.investorcanada.com. The interview will be promoted on Canada newswire in advance of the airing. InvestorCanada.com is also linked to many other sites such as www.canada.com.
