The Financial Planning Standards Board Council Elects Cary List to Serve as 2018 FPSB Council Chairperson
DENVER, CO 21 NOVEMBER 2017 At its semiannual meeting in Cape Town, South Africa, last month, Members of the Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB) Council elected Cary List, CFP, CA, CPA, President and CEO of Financial Planning Standards Council (FPSC), to serve as FPSB Council Chairperson in 2018. FPSB is the global professional standards-setting organization for financial planning and owner of the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER certification program outside the United States.
The FPSB Council is a forum for FPSB member organizations from around the world seeking to build awareness of the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER marks and the profession of financial planning. The FPSB Council acts as an advisory and consultative body to FPSBs Board of Directors and is made up of delegates from each of FPSBs member organizations globally, including FPSC.
The financial services industry worldwide is facing its most disruptive time in history, said List. With the advent of fintech and higher regulatory standards for advice, this creates tremendous opportunity for CFP certification and the FPSB network to solidify their place as the global leaders in serving consumers worldwide with ethical, relevant advice to help them enhance their financial health. My goal in 2018 is that the FPSB network continues to enhance its work as a strong collective voice in being a trusted resource for government, regulators and consumers alike.
Cary has been actively involved in shaping the global future of the financial planning profession since FPSBs inception, said FPSB Ltd. CEO Noel Maye. As the leader of FPSBs fourth-largest member organization, Cary will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the FPSB network and will be an excellent resource for those who are establishing the CFP certification program in other territories throughout the world. We look forward to Carys insight and leadership in 2018.
Mr. Lists term as FPSB Council Chairperson begins on 1 January 2018.
