Book: The First 50 Years of CFP® Certification
sku: CFPB134
In 2023, CFP Board recognized and celebrated the 50th anniversary of CFP® certification.
Financial planning has come a long way since 1973, when the initial class of 42 individuals was awarded CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification.
Despite its humble beginnings, CFP® certification has become the prized credential among the individuals building and advancing the financial planning profession. Half a century later, CFP Board certifies more than 100,000 CFP® professionals in the U.S.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of CFP® certification, CFP Board has published The First 50 Years of CFP® Certification: The Standard for Financial Planning, written by Michelle Kruger, Ph.D., CFP®. Filled with memories and forward-looking insights from individuals who helped lead the CFP® certification’s development over the years, the book is now available for purchase from the CFP Board store.
