CFP Board Seeks Candidates for 2025 Board of Directors
CFP Board is now accepting applications from individuals interested in serving on CFP Board's Board of Directors (Board), the strategic governing body of the organization, beginning in January 2025.
To complement the skills and experience of existing board members, the Nominating Committee anticipates identifying up to two individuals for board service, at least one of whom will meet CFP Board's definition of public member. Selection priority will be given to the following:
- A technology professional, such as a FinTech executive, with a deep understanding of current and emerging trends affecting the financial advice ecosystem and society
- An association CEO, preferably one focused on certification
CFP Board maintains its longstanding commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in all aspects of its mission and activities at all levels of the organization, including the Board of Directors, believing that diversity of experience and perspective will strengthen the organization’s impact. To that end, the Board of Directors should reflect a collective mixture of human and organizational assets including race, color religion, national origin, age, sex, disability, veteran status or sexual orientation—all while leveraging the power of diversity, equity and inclusion.
