John Bolton, Cecilia Farrow, and Stephen O’Connor have been elected by members for the Financial Advice New Zealand Practitioner Board Member positions.

The newly appointed members were announced at the Financial Advice New Zealand AGM held this morning, at the National Advisers Conference in Rotorua.

Meanwhile, Michael Dowling and Bruce Cortesi have stepped down from the Establishment Board.

There were nine high-calibre nominees across the four advice specialities - mortgage, insurance, investment and financial planning for the positions.

“Our Practitioner Board Members are the expert voice for their advice speciality,” Financial Advice New Zealand chairman Sue Brown said. “As we work towards the vision of Financial Advice New Zealand – building trust and confidence with Kiwis and helping more New Zealanders benefit from quality advice – it’s crucial that all areas of advice are well represented. We are extremely pleased to have such high calibre advisers joining the Board.”

Cecilia Farrow
