Boersen joined the CFP Board as a board director in 2020 and currently serves as Chair of the Finance and Investments Committee as well as a member of the CEO Oversight and Compensation Committee.
Current chair-elect Daniel Moisand will serve as chair of the board of directors in 2023, and Boersen will become chair of the board in 2024, the CPB Board said in a press release Thursday.
