FAQs

What information do I need to include when responding to a media request?

It's best practice to respond to ones in which you're interested and highly confident. It might not be beneficial to you to respond to requests in which you don't have much expertise. Typically, the requester will include a short prompt about the topic they'd like you to share information on.

Do I have to have a CFP® to respond to media requests?

Some media members often require only individuals with the CFP® to respond to requests, but many are open to all members.
