Member Director Risk Voting
Voting has now closed!
To enable and encourage as many members as possible to exercise their right to vote for Member Directors, the Returning Officer has determined the voting for the Member Director Risk vacancy on the Financial Advice New Zealand Board opened on Wednesday 6th September 2023 and closed at 1pm on Wednesday 27th September 2023. This allows enough time for the votes to be validated, counted and for the successful Member Director to be officially announced at the AGM. This pre-AGM online voting replaces voting for the Member Director at the AGM and is not in addition to it.

As per the constitution Adviser Members, FAP Members and Life Members may vote once. Non-financial Members cannot vote. Members become non-financial if they have missed three monthly payments.  

To cast a valid vote, you will need to enter your member details including your name and membership number.

The Member Director Risk Nominees are:
• Sonja Barrett
• Zebunisso Alimova 

Nominees’ photos, bios and videos in support of their nomination are available here on the Financial Advice NZ website. The full details of voting and the online voting form are also on that page.
