FPA adds to policy and membership teams


The Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) has announced a further two appointments in its policy and management teams.
Former Commonwealth Bank and Bridges Financial Services employee, Jason Tattershall, has been appointed as the new head of advice partnerships and memberships, while Ben Marshan will take over the position of head of policy, effective as of yesterday.
Marshan, a former lecturer at Western Sydney University, planner with State Super Financial Services, and associate director at KPMG, has stepped into the role, after starting with the FPA in December in the position of professional standards and advocacy manager.
The appointments of Tattershall and Marshan follow the recent announcement of Dimitri Diamantes to the policy team.
FPA chief executive, Dante De Gori, said that the FPA would benefit from the mentorship and leadership skills of its latest managers.
"I'm delighted to have Ben and Dimitri in our policy team. They are both CFP [Certified Financial Planning] professionals with a deep understanding of the intricacies and complexities of the financial planning process," he said.
We are committed to supporting members in their businesses... that will always remain a priority for us."
