Kelton Super Session to Explore Controversial Theory

S tephanie Kelton, Ph.D., will address modern monetary theory, one

of today’s hot-button topics in economics, in “Money Is No Object: Accounting for Deficits, Taxes and Trust in the 21st Century.” This Super Session, approved for one hour of CFP Board CE credit, is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 1, 1:45 to 2:45 p.m., in ballroom C–3. Kelton will explore the mechanics of modern money,

government deficits and issues of insolvency, and the nature of money itself. She galvanized attendees at FPA Retreat 2012 by suggesting that governments should print money until they achieve full employment. As the Fed expands its bal-ance sheet in response to the Great Recession, what does it mean for the future of infla-tion, interest rates and our country’s ability to borrow? Do taxes need to rise? What

if foreigners decide they don’t want to hold our bonds? Can we be forced to adopt harsh austerity measures? Come and hear Kelton, an internationally known author and educator, as she explores these and related controversial subjects from a

thought-provoking perspective.

Major Firms Symposium

Welcome to FPA Experience 2012!

I am truly honored to have you here in San Antonio with us. It only seems fitting that “The

Big Show” came to Texas. I’m sure you have found the hospitality warm and genuine. If you’re like me and other attendees I’ve had the chance to talk to, you were thoroughly entertained and enlightened by James Carville and Mary Matalin. This year’s conference promises you the opportunity to learn, connect and grow. Over the course of the next few days I hope you will find that we’ve made things difficult for you. As a task force, we wanted to make sure that in every time slot you have a difficult decision to make about which session to attend. While you will find the educa-tion sessions outstanding, you will also find built-in opportunities to build or renew relationships.

Take advantage of the community building area where you can meet with students to find that next star intern, discuss the latest news with the Women in Finance community or join the growing Finology community. It’s all there and more. I can’t think of anything more important to a practitioner than growing his or her practice. I’m sure that you’ll find the added emphasis on practice management to your liking. And don’t forget the exhibit hall. The wealth of knowledge there is amazing. To best serve us, our colleagues at those booths spend their time going across the country learning how we do what we do. Finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t take the opportunity to ask you for a favor. For the last 15 months a dedicated group of volunteers has had the honor of bringing this all together for you. I would greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to tell them “thank you” or “I’m sorry you spent a year of your life having to deal with Lee.” (If it’s the latter, buy ’em a drink!) Enjoy the rest of the conference and thank you for allowing me to serve. Be well.

—Lee Baker, CFP®

LeeBaker,CFP®,FPAExperience2012taskforcechair

Welcome to the annual gathering of the financial planning profession! What you get out of this confer-ence is, to a large extent, a func-tion of what you put into it. I offer you this challenge: Make it your personal mission to get additional ROI here in San Antonio by attend-ing sessions that do not offer CE; if you don’t, you’ll miss a number of speakers who challenge the status-quo! Be engaged in sessions—don’t just sit quietly in the back check-ing your email. Actively participate in the world-class content being offered to you and take your educa-tion—and thinking—to a higher level. Break out of your normal routine to attend networking opportunities to expand your community of FPA colleagues. It’s up to you to make the most of your experience. Getting immeasur-able value from your time here is a big goal, but one that I know you can achieve if you put forth the ef-fort. It’s all about learning some-thing new. Let’s have some fun.

Sal Giunta: A Heroic, Humble Soldier

Today’s general session with Medal of Honor recipient Salvatore “Sal”

Giunta (3:30–4:45 p.m. in Hall D), will explore leadership, sacrifice and the importance of teamwork. As a staff sergeant in the 173rd Airborne Brigade, on the night of Oct. 25, 2007, Giunta led a patrol in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley, a Taliban stronghold that American soldiers had dubbed “The Valley of Death.” They were ambushed, and over a three-minute period, Staff Sgt. Giunta’s actions would earn him the military’s highest honor. Under heavy fire, he raced to attend to his injured squad leader. Moving to assist other wounded soldiers, each member of the patrol was hit at least once. Upon reaching a hilltop, Giunta saw two insurgents car-rying away a wounded American soldier. He killed one, injured the other and reclaimed his fellow soldier. That soldier later died, and another American was

also killed in the action. In an interview with “60 Minutes” reporter Lara Logan that aired May 29, 2011, Giunta described himself as “average.” “I don’t think that I did anything that anyone else that I was with wouldn’t have done. I was in a position to do it. That was what needed to be done, so I did it,” he said. President Barack Obama awarded Giunta the Medal of Honor, which recognizes risk of life in combat beyond the call of duty, in a White House ceremony on Nov. 16, 2010. The president described Giunta “as humble as he is heroic.” Accord-ing to the White House Press Office, President Obama said, “Staff Sergeant Giunta, repeat-edly and without hesitation, you charged forward through extreme enemy fire, embodying the warrior ethos that says, ‘I will never leave a fallen com-rade.’ Your actions disrupted a devastating ambush before it could claim more lives. Your

courage prevented the capture of an American soldier and brought that soldier back to his family.” Giunta was the first living recipient of the Medal of Honor for service in Iraq or Afghanistan and the first living service mem-ber to be awarded the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War. His military decorations include the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart, among others. He completed two combat tours to Afghanistan before retiring from the U.S. Army in 2011 to attend college. Giunta lives in Colorado with his wife and daughter.

FPA Celebrates Financial Planning Week

FPA is celebrating its 11th annual Financial Plan-ning Week® in October.

Financial Planning Week is an FPA-driven campaign dedicated to raising public awareness about the value of financial planning and helping Americans make smart finan-cial decisions. FPA chapters nationwide conduct numerous community service events throughout October to provide individuals with the skills and knowledge they need to build a strong financial future. Financial Planning Week helps connect FPA’s expert members to thousands of Americans to share the impor-tant value of financial planning. The work of FPA chapters and members directly improves lives by helping Americans better understand financial planning. Financial Planning Week activities include:

• one-on-one counseling sessions from FPA’s CFP member experts and allied professionals

• educational workshops and seminars that address many personal finance issues, including the financial plan-ning process, budgeting, saving for retirement and much more

• email and telephone hotlines

• youth education programs in collaboration with Junior Achievement

In addition to the traditional FPA Financial Planning Week activities, we’re excited to work with chapters in October to coordinate Financial Planning Days for the third year. Financial Planning Days was created in partnership with FPA, Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Foundation for Financial Plan-ning and The U.S. Conference of Mayors. As part of Financial

Planning Days, qualified and experienced financial planners will provide free, no-strings attached advice and educa-

tion in more than 20 cities nationwide. Learn more about Financial Planning Days at FinancialPlanningDays.org.

All events are open to the public and free of charge. To learn more about FPA’s Finan-cial Planning Week activities

and how you can be a part of the effort in your community, visit FinancialPlanningWeek.org.
