BOSTON - Dec. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- The Pro Bono Military Program team of the Financial Planning Association™ of Massachusetts (FPA MA) was recognized with an Outstanding Achievement Award at a recent FPA Chapter Leaders Conference held in Denver, CO.

The volunteer team was honored for leadership in providing support to members of the service and their families.

Since January of 2012, the nearly two dozen pro bono volunteers in the FPA of MA Pro Bono Military Program has supported 28 financial readiness events, completed 1390 volunteer hours and held 108 1-1 counseling sessions with members of the military, veterans and their families.

“We commend our Pro Bono Military Program volunteers for donating their time and expertise to service members and their families,” said Daniel J. Galli, CFP®, President of the FPA of MA. “Many in the military face long deployments and having a financial plan in place once home can help to eliminate some of the stress they and their families may face; we are proud to participate in a program that means so much to so many people and of the volunteers who comprise this extraordinary team.”
