FPA announces three new directors
The Financial Planning Association (FPA) has announced the three new directors who will join the board following the recent FPA board elections, and all three will be practising certified financial planners (CFPs).
CFP practitioners Neil Kendall, Peter O’Toole and Julie Matheson have been elected as practitioner members of the board, to be appointed at the annual general meeting (AGM) in November. The 23 candidates who stood for election was a record for FPA board elections, according to the FPA.
“The board represents the voice of our members so we are excited that these three experienced practitioner members were elected,” said FPA chair Julie Berry.
“I’d like to thank all 23 candidates for standing and congratulate Neil, Peter and Julie on their successful election. They will each bring a wealth of experience and dedication to the Board.”
CFP Martin McIntosh, who stood in as an appointed director in June 2010 to replace Rob Pedersen, will step down, the FPA announced. Berry’s term as FPA chair will also end at the AGM in November, and Matthew Rowe CFP will take over the role.
