Commenting on the departure, chief executive of the SMSF Association Andrea Slattery said: “Graeme has been an important member of the technical and policy team for the past four years, and I know members valued his expertise and support.
“Graeme has been at the forefront of superannuation policy over many years, especially as it relates to SMSFs, and the association and its members have been the beneficiaries of this high level of knowledge.”
Ms Slattery also thanked Mr Colley for his achievements while at the association.
“His contribution to the association and the SMSF sector extended beyond his technical and policy roles of the past four years, having served diligently as a past chairman and director,” she said.
“We thank him for his significant contribution and wish him all the best for the future.”
Graeme has to be one of the most knowledgeable technical people in financial planning and I for one have a great deal of respect for him. His willingness to help with no ego attached is something I will always remember him by.
