Q1:	How and when was the AAFM founded?
A:	The AAFM Board of Stadnards was founded in 1996, via a merger between the American Academy of Financial Management & Analysts (AAFMA) and the Founders Advisory Committee of the Original Tax and Estate Planning Law Review. The AAFM was originally established as a professional organization for investment managers, lawyers, and analysts. The Law Review was founded to examine strategic wealth and estate planning issues for Law, CPA, and MBA graduates and to award the financial analyst and tax designation. The merger of these two entities provided a cross-discipline association with strong reach and a mature membership platform.

Q2:	How is the AAFM Structured?
A:	The AAFM is a Board of Standards and Certifying Body. The AAFM Board regulates the certifications, exams, registered educuational programs, and standards for certifications along with issuing a membership code of ethics and standards of practice. Approved AAFM chapters and member organizations operate in most countries as a ‘society’ or non-profit association, with the members of the local or regional chapter making up the ‘owners’ of the society. At all times the AAFM and its members are accountable to the community and to the Board of Standards. The Academy’s legal and operational structure is somewhat dictated by a landmark US Supreme Court case (Ibanez vs. Florida) and this case also dictates the use of the AAFM marks as respect it’s members.
