The chair of the SMSF Association, Dr Deborah Ralston confirmed the appointment following the organisation’s board meeting and foreshadowed that there would be additional board appointments made soon following a call for expressions of interest from members.
Commenting on Ripoll’s appointment, Ralston said she believed his knowledge and insights from the boarder advice and superannuation sectors had made a valuable contribution to the Association’s discussions.
