IFP membership survey deadline approaches this week
There is one week left for Institute of Financial Planning members to fill out this year's IFP membership survey.
The survey is vital for the IFP to shape its plans for 2014 and ensure that it is focused on the relevant needs of Financial Planners.
The IFP has recently undergone a rebrand and also launched a new consumer site called Wayfinder to highlight awareness of Financial Planning.
Members should have received an invitation to complete the survey by email and the deadline is Friday 19 July.

Feedback from members in last year's survey found that over 90 per cent of members said they joined the IFP to improve their knowledge.
Other factors for joining were improving Financial Planning skills, sharing best practice with other members and accessing Financial Planning qualifications.
Some 90 per cent felt the IFP had helped to develop their skills, 87 per cent reported increased professionalism and 85 per cent felt part of a professional community.
Networking was a further benefit, whether at IFP events which are regularly held around the country or via IFP group on Twitter and LinkedIn. Some 64 per cent attend branch meetings and over half rated their branch chairman as 'excellent'.
