The Investment Management Consultants Association has hired Sean R. Walters as executive director.
Walters (pictured) currently serves as IMCA’s deputy executive director and will commence the role of executive director on 1 March 2010.
Current IMCA executive director, Edythe "Dede" Pahl, announced her plans to retire in July 2009 and the IMCA board of directors hired Walters after conducting a nationwide executive search.
“The board is excited to see Sean continue the momentum that Dede created in establishing IMCA as the premier provider of advanced investment consulting and wealth management credentials,” says John Granzow, IMCA’s president.
Walters is a 19-year veteran of association management and has served 13 years as a senior executive in financial services associations.
Walters has served IMCA as deputy executive director since June 2007. Prior to joining IMCA, he was managing director of the Financial Planning Association and director of member services for its predecessor International Association for Financial Planning.
