The FinancialPlanning Association (FPA) has passed a special resolution to recognise the contribution made by non-financial planners to the association.
The first person to be so recognised is the FPA’s state executive officer for NSW, Di Bungey, who joined the association 15 years ago.
FPA chairman John Godfrey presented Bungey with an award for her contribution to the association at a lunch in Sydney last week.
Bungey was the first employee of the Australian Investment Planners Association (AIPA), joining the association in 1987, five years before it merged with the Australian Society of Investment and Financial Advisers to form the FPA.
As well as the award, Bungey received tributes for her contribution to the association from FPA chief executive Ken Breakspear and past FPA board members Gwen Fletcher and Laura Menschik.
