SPAA appoints new board members
The Self-Managed Super Fund Professionals’ Association of Australia (SPAA) has appointed Peter Crump and Andrew Hamilton to its board.
The new appointments will replace Stephen Bourke, who left last year, and Peter Burgess, who stepped down from his role on the board to take up a full-time role as SPAA’s technical director.
Peter Crump is an executive director at Portfolio Planning Solutions where he is responsible for providing financial planning advice to SMSFs. Andrew Hamilton is the managing director of Cavendish Superannuation, having previously worked across product design, software development and training program sectors, among others.
“The addition of Peter Crump and Andrew Hamilton to the SPAA Board will provide valuable input to SPAA policy efforts, which will benefit both members and the SMSF industry,” said SPAA chief executive Andrea Slattery.
