Marisa Broome is currently chair of the FPA’s policy and regulations committee and the FASEA working group, as well as member of the audit and risk management committee of the FPA board, the FPA said in a statement.
Ms Broome’s career spans more than 30 years and has been an FPA board member since 2015.
Outgoing FPA chair Neil Kendall said he’s delighted to be handing over the reins to Ms Broome.
“She will make an outstanding chair and has the skill and vision to lead the next chapter of the FPA’s professional journey,” he said.
“Her experience running her own financial planning practice in Sydney for the last 21 years equips her well to understand and meet the challenges facing the profession.”
In other changes to the board, director Philip Pledge will be stepping down from his role on 31 December.
In his place from 1 January 2019 will be Paul Ruiz, currently a member of the audit and risk committee at NSW Treasury.
You won’t have anything to run if you keep shafti g your members like you have consistently done these past two decades.
The FPA has stealthily run this education is everything rubbish just to flog courses and memberships and you have destroyed the industry, making it impossible to run a compliant business by bowing to everything and standing for nothing.
Your members are deserting you. Once they figure out like I have how to give good advice and guidance without being licensed and without fear of litigation they will stampede out of your corrupt organisation like I did.
You can easily run an advisory business without the onerous compliance and licensing cost and be legal. It’s easy.
I did wondered how accurate your remarks were and it appears either they make up their membership numbers in their annual reports or your comments are simply ignorant of the facts. It seems you have chosen to leave the FPA and probably a great relief to the FPA that you have. Perhaps you could move on to topics where you have at least something useful to contribute.
