MIX Group Application
The more specific you are, the better your chances of finding advisors who are the best fit for your MIX group.
MIX group emails go out to NAPFA members as often as twice a month, and the responses from those who are interested will come to you over about a week at the email you list below. NAPFA recommends 7-10 members per MIX group, and that you select a couple more people than that to allow for the attrition that tends to occur initially when the meeting time doesn't work for someone, they realize they're too busy, etc.
There may be too many respondents, or some advisors who are interested who do not best meet your requirements; please forward those emails without responding to Heidi Tennant at tennanth@napfa.org, and she will get back to those members about starting their own groups. Feel free to contact NAPFA in the future if you need additional members for your group.
You will be emailed a copy of this form upon submission.

Your First Meeting
First meetings are generally spent (feel free to tailor this for your agenda):
• Getting to know one another, with each member talking for 3-4 minutes on their career/skills/company/goals/challenges,
• Having a discussion of the purpose of the group going forward, brainstorming a list of meeting topics that you can discuss on future calls, and deciding how the focus of each call will be determined ahead of time,
• Coming to agreement on future meeting dates/times.
