AFA appoints Practitioner Community of Practice chairs

The Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) has appointed John Cachia to chair of the Practitioner Community of Practice (PCP) and Deline Jacovides as deputy chair.

The PCP was designed to provide a forum for experienced financial advice practitioners to network, share experiences and discuss industry issues and opportunities.

Cachia said: “We’ve assembled a collaborative team across all communities of practice… so that we have a common goal; to help hear the voices of Australians and bring positive change to the profession”.

Cachia had previously been Victorian practitioner chair for the AFA and founded AFA Group Wealth advisory. He started his career almost two decades ago assisting paraplanners and advisers for CCA Financial Planners.

Jacovides had founded her advisory, Mazi Wealth,  last year and was a committee member of Women in Super. She had previously worked as a financial planner in holistic advice at NGS Super and as a financial planer at Aspire Retire Financial Services.

Cachia said: “Now is the time to essentially draw the line in the sand, to gather all together and let our voices be heard so that the people in power make the appropriate changes to improve the financial advisory role and financial planning profession, not only for you but for your peers and for every Australian who should seek advice.

“We look forward to continue to drive positive change… and to work more positively with you.”
