12th June ’08 - Homeowner Loan Players Given AFB Board Opportunity
The Association of Finance Brokers (AFB) has announced that it is accepting nominations for positions on its board. Candidates will have an opportunity to influence the industry, including the future of both homeowner loans and secured loans.
Three positions on the board are open. One position will go to a candidate from a small firm, one to a candidate from a medium firm and one to a candidate from a large firm. This split exists so as to ensure a fair and balanced reflection of the loans market.
In order to be eligible for election, candidates must receive two nominations from other AFB members and complete a nomination form.
Both Paul Carley, who currently represents small firms, and Steve Feeney, who currently represents medium firms, are standing for re-election.
Robert Sinclair, director of the AFB comments, “We are an open and transparent body, which is fully representative of its members and their interests, and we welcome all nominations to the Board.
“These are challenging times for the industry and the wider economy and it is more important than ever that the industry has a strong trade body representing its interests with regulators, politicians and the media.
“However, we are only as strong as our members make us. That is why it is vital we have engaged members who are willing to serve on the Board. The secured loans industry faces a number of key challenges this year and sitting on the AFB Board offers a great opportunity to influence the future shape of our industry.”
