In announcing his resignation yesterday, Mr Kane said his work commitments as Advantedge’s general manager broker platforms meant he could not give his role as president of the MFAA the attention it required.
“I submitted my resignation with some regret as I very much wanted to continue to play a role in MFAA’s development and enhancement of the professional status of its members. However my work commitments are such that I felt that I could no longer do justice to what is an important role with the MFAA,” he said.
Mr Kane said his decision was right for him, the MFAA and its members as he simply couldn't give 110 per cent to the role any more.
"It is important for any president of the MFAA to be able to give 110 per cent commitment to the role. In my new role I simply wasn't able to do this, so I made a decision that I believe is in the best interests of everyone," he told The Adviser.
The MFAA Board has since elected a new president – Martin Leedham, AFG’s South Australian state manager.
Speaking about his appointment, Mr Leedham said he was looking forward to “providing leadership and support on issues that benefit members of the MFAA.”
