Former SMSF Association Chair steps down

The SMSF Association has announced the departure of Andrew Gale from its board, effective 29 June 2018,

Gale first joined the Association's board in 2012 and served as chair for two years between February 2016 and 2018.

In acknowledging his contribution, recently-appointed chair, Deborah Ralston, said: "Andrew's lead as a strong and effective chairman of the Board, his contribution to strategic thinking for the Association, oversight of a smooth CEO succession, and service through the Public Policy Committee has been highly appreciated."

Gale will be succeeded by Liam Shorte, who has chaired the Association's NSW Local Community since 2015 and is a member of the Magnitude Advisory Committee. Shorte is also an SMSF Specialist Advisor™ and financial planner with his firm Verante Financial Planning.
