Foley: Changes to MFAA constitution make sense

By Larry Schlesinger | 20/11/2009 9:30:00 AM | 1 comments

National Mortgage Brokers managing director Gerald Foley has backed the special resolution vote scheduled for next week's MFAA AGM.

The resolution, reported on Broker news yesterday, seeks to limit the number of people from one related group that can sit on the MFAA board to two directors.

Foley said comments on the issue made by MFAA CEO Phil Naylor were "pretty good" and the resolution was a "good outcome"

"It's a changing market. If there is control issue and perceived undue influence...then it makes sense," he said.

Naylor said the resolution was all about a "fair balance of representation on the [MFAA] Board" in the light of industry consolidation.

A 75% vote in favour of the resolution is needed to change the constitution.
