In this episode, Kathleen Kenealy and Rene Jarquin, Director of the FPA of New England's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, are joined by Chloe Moore, CFP® and Luis Rosa, CFP®, EA, two of the co-founders of the BLX Internship program. According to recent data published by the CFP Board, less than 5% of CFP® Professionals are Black, Hispanic or Latino. The mission of the BLX Internship Program is to make the demographics of the financial planning profession more representative of the population of the country by providing an entry point into financial planning for Black and LatinX individuals. Join us to learn more about the program, its goals over the next year, and how advisory firms can benefit from hiring an intern in their practice.
