FPA Knowledge Circles

Connect. Learn. Grow — with a community that understands your journey.

Knowledge Circles are peer-led communities within the Financial Planning Association (FPA) where members can connect around shared identities, interests, specialties, or practice areas. Whether you're looking for connection, collaboration, or continuing education, Knowledge Circles create space to grow with people who share your perspective or professional focus.

Why Knowledge Circles Matter

Financial planners work in a wide range of roles and serve an incredibly diverse client base. Knowledge Circles make it easy to engage with others who understand your challenges, celebrate your milestones, and help you sharpen your thinking. These spaces are built for support, learning, and shared leadership — and every member is welcome.
