This appointment recognizes Brahim's unwavering commitment to the financial planning profession and his outstanding leadership.
As President-Elect of FPA, Brahim will be instrumental in guiding the organization's mission to empower and support financial advisors across the nation. Brahim will assume the role of President-Elect on Jan. 1, 2024, preparing to take the helm as President in 2025.
"Paul's leadership has been felt at all levels of the association, and his passion for financial planning is palpable,” said FPA President James Lee. “He will play an integral role in advancing the association's many objectives, especially for the legal recognition of the term 'financial planner' through title protection."
