Six candidates are battling it out for two positions on the board of the Financial Planning Association.
Two practitioner seats on the board have been vacated by Ray Griffin’s election to chairman and the decision by James Doogue to step down after a number of years on the board. Two dealer principal seats on the board will also be changing but the FPA has not released details on those that have been elected to the positions.
The six candidates for the practitioner positions are Nick Bruining (Perth), Julie Berry (Coffs Harbour), Paul Brady (Sydney), Rick Huxtable (Melbourne), Mervin Reed (Hobart) and Terry Wadell (Perth).
FPA chief executive Michael McKenna says the field is well spread and he is glad to see the standard of competition is so high.
He also says the FPA will be sad to see Doogue depart the board, paying homage to his commitment to the FPA and, in particular his “substantial contribution to education”.
McKenna says the response by members has been good but he strongly urges those who are yet to vote to get their votes in by 5pm (EST) on Monday, October 4.
