“There have been some challenging issues for the Association over this period, and the Board has always benefited from Robin’s sage advice, policy knowledge, and media background,” he said.
“His ability to see issues germane to the SMSF sector in the broader context of the superannuation industry has been particularly helpful over the journey
Commenting on his appointment, Houlihan said: “It’s an honour to be asked by my fellow directors to follow Robin who has served the Association with such distinction.
