Mark O'Toole's FPA Board Nomination - Last day to vote

Thank you if you have already voted for me. 

If you haven't, today is the last day to vote before voting closes tomorrow. I would be honoured if you could kindly cast your vote for me before this Wednesday October 14th.

If I am successful in being elected to the Board, I will endeavour to contribute and give back to the Financial Planning profession.

I am very passionate about Financial Planning and lifting the standards and reputation of Financial Planners within the broader Community. In my view high quality Adviser's can be found in many different types of business structures & licensees: small, large ,employed and self employed. It comes down to the professionalism and integrity of the individual Adviser.

I have been part of leading advice networks for 25 years, including Deutsche Bank and Godfrey Pembroke. Within these networks I served as a Director & Chair of the financial planner advisory boards.

As a a full time CFP Professional advising clients in my financial planning practice since 1998, I continue to strive to provide high quality advice aligned with my clients values and best interests.

Given my long involvement in various advisory boards, I believe I have developed a deep understanding of the needs of Advisors, their clients and the profession.

Philanthropy is another interest of mine & I currently serve on a charitable foundation trustee board. I have previous experience as Director and Company Secretary of a public Charity, which gives me great insight into the complex nature of running a successful board.

My experience with working with high net worth families, gives me considerable understanding of the dynamics of business, Corporate Governance, Strategic Planning and Risk Management.
