Another Long Island group has won a best chapter award from its national organization. The Financial Planning Association of Long Island has won the Pinnacle Award, the most prestigious chapter award of the national group. It shares the award with four other chapters, out of 105 groups nationwide.

The East Meadow group, which received the award in Colorado Springs earlier this month, was honored for such things as leadership, community outreach and membership development. It has 600 members.

This award follows the previously reported news that the Long Island chapter of the Association of Information Technology Professionals won chapter of the year award.
