Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc. announced that Daniel Moisand has begun his role as chair of its board of directors.
In 2021, Moisand was elected by the board to serve as the 2022 board chair elect. On Jan. 1, he began serving in his new role as board chair.
Moisand will guide the organization as it launches its first-ever comprehensive review of CFP Board's competency standards with the formation in 2023 of the Competency Standards Commission, the CFP Board said in a press release Tuesday.
During his term as chair, he will also preside over the beginning of a new initiative that will focus on increasing the number of college-bound students choosing financial planning as a degree major and career path.
From 1999 to 2001, Moisand served on CFP Board's Board of Practice Standards. In 2008, he served as chair of CFP Board's Disciplinary and Ethics Commission. And, in 2020, he was elected to his first term to serve on the board of directors.
