AFA head steps down

“With new president Michael Nowak on board and solid foundations for the association’s future now in place, the time is right for me to pass the baton,” Mr Kewin said.

“I am extremely proud of my achievements at the AFA, in particular the way we have represented advisers during what is undoubtedly the most challenging period the profession has ever experienced.

“I would like to thank the AFA team for continuing to deliver outcomes that any large team would be proud of; our volunteer brigade of Communities of Practice, for continuing to build the AFA Community; our AFA Partners for their unwavering support for advice, and of course, our AFA members who continue to demonstrate endurance and resilience in unprecedented times, to deliver great outcomes for their clients.”

The AFA’s general manager policy and professionalism, Phil Anderson, has been appointed acting chief executive while the board conducts a search for Mr Kewin's replacement.
