The Financial Planning Standards Board is looking for candidates to join its board of directors from April 2014.
The FPSB manages and develops the Certified Financial Planner certification around the world.
Directors are responsible for guiding the organisation, developing policies, identifying needs on behalf of FPSB membership and providing guidance to the chief executive.
Former Institute of Financial Planning president Barry Horner CFP^CM has been on the board since 2012 and will take over as chairman in 2014.
The FPSB is currently working on increasing consumer awareness of CFP certification and how CFP fits in with other regulatory qualifications.
Steve Helmich, FPSB chairperson, said: "FPSB's 2014 Board of Directors will play a key role in shaping and driving FPSB's long-term strategies and supporting our global commitment to putting consumers in control of their lives through the use of personal Financial Planning.
