FISA goes from strength to strength

<strong>By: FISA</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">During February 2019 and after the annual general meeting of the Fiduciary Institute of Southern Africa (FISA) on 19 March 2019, changes were made to the FISA Council as follows:</span>

<ul>

<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ronel Williams was re-elected unopposed for a further three-year term as nationally elected councillor. </span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rynoe Smith was elected as councillor for the Central Region, replacing Colin Hickling who had served on the Council for six years.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Penny du Plessis was elected as councillor for the Gauteng Region, replacing Cheryl Howard who had served on the Council for seven years.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shayne Ramdhani was re-elected as councillor for the KwaZulu-Natal region.</span></li>

</ul>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr Eben Nel, National Chairperson of FISA, thanked those whose terms had come to an end and welcomed the new councillors, saying: “Councillors’ time is given voluntarily and we deeply appreciate the effort that they make in continuing to grow the organisation and advance the fiduciary profession.”</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">FISA has a current total of just over 700 members. In 2018 the organisation introduced candidate membership for those with less than three years’ experience in the fiduciary industry. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The ultimate fiduciary designation, that of Fiduciary Practitioner of SA</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">®</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (FPSA</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">®</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">), is attracting keen interest, with over 200 FISA members now holding the designation.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">To apply to FISA for the FPSA</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">®</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> designation, a FISA member needs to have successfully completed the distance-learning Advanced Diploma in Estate and Trust Administration offered by the School of Financial Planning Law at the University of the Free State.</span>
