23 candidates for FPA board vacancies
Twenty-three candidates have lined up for three vacant independent positions on the Financial Planning Association (FPA) board.
The FPA election process opens today and will close on 8 October with two of the available positions open to Certified Financial Planner (CFP) candidates and the third open to either an Associate Financial Planner or a CFP.
The chair of the FPA, Julie Berry, welcomed the high number of board nominations and encouraged members to participate in the ballot for those positions.
The high number of nominations for the FPA board appears to be consistent with a strong pattern of membership renewals for the organisation, notwithstanding criticism of its policy objectives from some quarters of the industry.
