All the scrutiny it is enduring is not deterring the Financial Planning Association (FPA) from being in election mode. Four voting positions on the board are vacant, with none of the sitting members nominating for re-election. Fifteen members have nominated to fill the places.

Chairman Corrina Dieters says all eligible members should consider their vote carefully.

“The FPA needs a strong board elected by its members to represent all members,” she said. “I recommend that members exercise their right to vote in these elections and choose the four candidates you believe can best take our profession forward.”

Voting is by posted ballot – with the election closing on October 5.
