The Financial Planning Association said Wednesday that Dennis Moore, who has been serving as the group's chief operating officer and interim CEO since February, has become FPA's new CEO.

“The role of the CEO of FPA elevates its members and the profession overall as well as putting FPA in a strong position for long-term success,“ said 2025 FPA President Paul Brahim, in a statement. “Our CEO Search Committee ultimately recommended to the Board that the best decision for the Association was to select Dennis for the full-time role."

During his tenure at FPA, Moore has been a consistent presence within FPA at both the chapter and national levels over the past two decades, the group said.

“I often tell people FPA had a lot to do with the success of my career, and I am so grateful for that,” Moore added in the statement. “I want to ensure that as many members as possible feel the same way. It also isn’t lost on me that I am taking the helm of this organization at its 25th anniversary. We are thoughtfully innovating to provide the best member experiences and opportunities for the next 25 years.”

Moore was previously the president of the FPA of Dallas/Fort Worth and the FPA of West Texas chapters, and has served as an adjunct professor of financial planning at Texas Tech University, where he is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in personal financial planning. Moore served a six-year term on the FPA Board of Directors, including as FPA president in 2022.

"Dennis has shown a great passion for the Association through his many years of servant leadership," Brahim said. "Throughout his time with FPA, Dennis has positioned the Association for long-term success. We are thrilled he will remain a part of FPA’s national leadership team and will guide our outstanding professional staff in supporting the needs of our members and the financial planning community.”
