Financial Planning Association Names 2026 President
Educator and financial planner Dan Galli, principal at Daniel J. Galli & Associates, has officially started his role as the 2026 President of the Financial Planning Association, effective January 1.
In this position, Galli will work collaboratively alongside the organization’s national and chapter-based volunteer leaders and FPA Chief Executive Officer Dennis J. Moore.
Galli began his career teaching at Hatherly School in Massachusetts. Today, he is a full-time financial planner. He has served as an adjunct instructor in financial planning courses at Northeastern University and Boston University over the years.
“When we think about next generation financial planners, they’re not only those fresh out of college but professionals like me who came to love serving people while bettering their financial lives after following a different job path,” said Galli. “As a young profession, financial planning could use all the brilliant ideas it can receive to elevate the profession and ensure that we best serve as many people as possible. We need to help the public understand what financial planning is and how a financial planner can guide them successfully.”
Galli is a long-time member of the Financial Planning Association of New England, where he has served on several committees, the board of directors, and as president for two years. He was named the chapter’s Financial Planner of the Year in 2017.
At Daniel J. Galli & Associates, his practice centers around financial planning and investment management with a focus on retirement planning for teachers, small business owners, and professionals.
