The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors has elected Jeff Jones to serve as its chair-elect in the 2021-22 fiscal year, which begins Sept. 1. He is currently the group’s secretary-treasurer.
Jones is a partner at Longview Financial Advisors in Huntsville, Alabama, and its director of financial planning. Since becoming a fee-only financial planner in 2009, Jones has served on NAPFA’s south region board as symposium chair, president and chair, and then on a national level as a member of the group’s board-level committees on membership and finance.
Elected to the NAPFA board for three-year terms beginning in September were Joni Alt of Hopwood Financial in Reston, Virginia; Laura Barnett Lion of the Chicago-headquartered Mather Group; and Deva Panambur of Sarsi in West New York, New Jersey.
“Today’s actions send a clear message that even the biggest financial institutions are not above the law,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
