FICP Profile: Carlin Putman, CMP, of VALIC and Western National Life Insurance Company, Houston, Texas

What has been the value of your FICP membership?
I joined FICP in 2000 when I began my career in meeting planning. The biggest benefit is the opportunity to network with planners who understand the financial industry and who have “walked in my shoes,” in addition to partners who understand the industry and various strategies that work best for my team and for me, as clients.
