FPA announces new director
The Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) has announced the appointment of a new board member, Jane Bowd, following the departure of former FPA chief executive and current FPA Board director, Mark Rantall.
Bowd, who would be commencing her role in March this year, is currently the group company secretary and corporate counsel at Coca-Cola Amatil, and her appointment followed the recent election of Michelle Tate-Lovery, and the re-elections of Maria Broome and Delma Newton to the board.
FPA chair, Neil Kendall, said he was please to welcome Bowd to the FPA Board.
“Jane brings deep knowledge and expertise in legal and governance matters from her prior financial services roles, and private practice," he said.
Kendall also thanked Rantall for his dedication and commitment to the financial planning profession, and his invaluable advisory role.
“He has been with us on our journey to reach higher education and advice standards, and has tirelessly campaigned to ensure both members and consumers benefit from proposed industry and government reforms,” he said. “He has also helped grow both the certified financial planner (CFP) mark and number of CFP professionals in Australia.”
