SPAA promotes Hamilton to vice chair


The Self-Managed Super Fund Professionals’ Association of Australia (SPAA) has announced a number of board changes, which will see the promotion of director Andrew Hamilton (pictured) to vice chair.
Hamilton replaces Graeme Colley, who will remain as a director and chair of the regulatory committee, according to the SPAA. Other changes include the introduction of technical strategist Louise Biti as a director.
SPAA board chair, Sharyn Long, said the appointments would improve the association’s ability to contribute to the policymaking process and promote higher self-managed super fund (SMSF) adviser standards. She said Hamilton and Biti’s contributions to the SPAA board were important as the SPAA worked towards higher standards and broader SMSF policy objectives, and as it navigated legislative and market-related change. Long said the board also looked forward to Colley’s continued input.
