Many people do not realize what they should be doing, when to start and how many different components there are when it comes to financial planning, said Alexander B. Williams, Jr., CFP(TM), president of the FPA Connecticut/Fairfield County Council and an investment advisor representative with Financial Network Investment Corp. "You could start planning for college now even before your child is born," Mr. Williams said.

Mr. Williams will be joined in the seminar by five other Connecticut certified financial planners: David Bue of Affirmative Financial Services in Westport, Thomas J. Casey of AdvisorsOne in Wilton, Gregory T. Cimmino of New England Financial Group in Waterbury, Rameela Patel of Financial Focus in Riverside, and George L. Taylor of Temenos in Farmington.
