The Financial Planning Association (FPA) has signed on JDC Allen & Associates as the recruitment agency in charge of forwarding candidates for the association’s chief executive.
JDC Allen was selected from a short list of three by the high level committee of FPA board members in charge of appointing a new chief executive in the wake of the departure of Michael McKenna last month.
FPA chairman Ray Griffin is a key member of the four person committee. He says the appointment of the recruitment group for the national search is only one step in a process which could take up to 12 weeks.
“We are in no particular hurry. We want to be sure that we select the right candi-date for the job. Searching for an executive at this level often takes 10 to 12 weeks,” he says.
“The FPA is currently in good hands under the guidance of acting chief executive Ken Breakspear. It is business as usual.”
Griffin says the FPA has been approached by a number of parties interested in the post but all these candidates will be put through the same process as other candi-dates.
