Applications for Financial Advice New Zealand’s advisory committees close tomorrow at 5:00pm

Body calls brokers to join advisory committees
Brokers who are interested in applying for one of Financial Advice New Zealand’s committees have until tomorrow to submit their CVs. 

The new body is forming four member advisory committees that will represent specific sub-sectors of the industry: lending, risk insurance, investments and financial planning. Each advisory committee will have a chair and two or three member representatives.

Financial Advice New Zealand is calling for brokers, and other financial industry participants, for chair and representative roles for its four committees.

The body said brokers will be notified by Saturday, December 23, with the first scheduled meeting of all committees taking place on or before 1 February 2018.

Financial Advice New Zealand chair Sue Brown said the member advisory committees will play an important role in ensuring that each sector has a voice and is represented in the new association.

“These committees are a crucial element of our focus on standards, advocacy and promotion of advice. Those in specialist advisory fields are working in a fast-developing environment, and these committees will provide an extra level of knowledge, expertise and support,” Brown said. 

She added that the formation of the member advisory committees is one of the key steps in the new organisation’s six-month plan.

Applicants need to send their CVs to [email protected] by 5:00pm tomorrow, December 13. All applicants must members of one of the founding bodies.
