Following the completion of this new FPI strategy, Gerhardt Meyer will be stepping down as the FPI chairperson at the end of February 2012. "I am personally very pleased that we have concluded this very important work earlier than initially anticipated. The board had, at the end of my original term as chairperson in May 2011, asked me to stay on until the completion of this work, which we had initially anticipated would take a lot longer to finalise," said Meyer.
The board has named the current chairperson-elect, Solly Keetse, the successor of Meyer for the remainder of his term of office which will end in June 2013. "Gerhardt's extraordinary vision and leadership have been highly valuable to the FPI over the years. On behalf of the directors of FPI I would like to thank him for enormous contribution towards making FPI the premier professional body in the financial services industry," Keetse said.
