SMSF Association welcomes new board member
The Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) Association has appointed a governance expert to its board in replacement of a former board member.
The new board member, Christine Franks, will commence her new role on 1 January 2024. She takes over the role from Robyn FitzRoy, who retired from the board on 23 November 2023.
Franks brings more than two decades of governance experience to the position and is a fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Her previous roles span from consumer research to customer service and marketing across the commercial, not-for-profit and public sectors.
Moreover, the incoming governance expert is the chair and chief executive of Women in Aid and Development, an organisation for women in the international aid and humanitarian sectors. She is also the director of Gateway Bank.
Scott Hay-Bartlem, SMSF Association chair, commented: “We are thrilled to have someone with Christine’s varied experiences join the board. She will be an invaluable addition, particularly with her breadth of knowledge gained from various board appointments and experience in governance, marketing, and consumer research.
“The Association and the superannuation sector are constantly evolving and adjusting to legislative changes, so to have someone that can be a positive voice in these conversations at all levels, as well as for our members, better positions us to make the correct strategic decisions for the SMSF sector.”
Hay-Bartlem thanked FitzRoy for her six years at the SMSF Association board and contribution during this time.
Regarding her appointment, Franks said: “It’s a pleasure and privilege to be asked to join the board, and I look forward to participating in the strategic conversations about how to grow both the association and our superannuation sector in the coming years and achieve better outcomes for our members.”
