FPA board elections attract 15 nominations
Corinna Dieters
A total of 15 members of the Financial Planning Association (FPA) have been nominated to fill four voting member board directorships.
The FPA constitution requires that the four directors with voting rights elected in 2004 stand down after the annual general meeting on November 24.
They are Sarah Brennan, who resigned in March this year, Corinna Dieters, Leonie Henry, and Chris Craggs, none of whom are seeking re-election for voting positions.
Ballot papers containing the 15 nominations are now being mailed to members, with voting due to close on October 5.
In a letter to members accompanying the ballot papers, FPA chairman Corinna Dieters reminded members to consider the suitability of each nominee as a board member, giving consideration to their ability “to discharge their duties responsibly, to represent all FPA members and to work co-operatively with board colleagues”.
