Board of Directors
Serving on the Board
As the strategic governing body of the organization, CFP Board's Board of Directors (Board) is the policy-making and oversight body responsible for furthering CFP Board’s mission. The Board acts on behalf of the public, CFP® professionals and other stakeholders.
There are currently 16 members of the Board, including 4 public members. The majority of the members are professionals who have earned the CFP® certification. These Board members from within the profession represent a wide portfolio of financial planning experiences and client representation.
The culture of the Board of Directors is a lively and collaborative one. The Board prides itself on being very much a governing board, as opposed to a management board, and is highly invested in successful Board outcomes.
