About Membership

The Life Planning Network is easy to join and has many benefits. The current Membership of the LPN is comprised of professionals from a variety of fields including career counseling, life coaching, financial planning, law, higher education, media, gerontology, psychotherapy, organizational development, human resources, employee assistance, public health, community service, health and housing. Individuals with a professional interest in Life Planning for the Third Age are welcome to contact us to learn more about our organization.

To join the Life Planning Network please complete the Member Enrollment Form and the Member Profile Form, or fill out our online Member Enrollment Form.

The word "network" has special meaning to us. While opportunities to work collaboratively together naturally arise, our primary intention is to learn, share and grow together.

Potential members are encouraged to attend up to two meetings as a guest to meet our members and to get a feel for LPN. There are no qualifications for membership other than being a Life Planning professional who wants to become actively involved in furthering the vision and mission of LPN.
