The Chambre de la sécurité financière (CSF) has appointed Marie Elaine Farley as president and CEO of the self-regulatory organization (SRO) that oversees Quebec mutual fund advisors, insurance agents and financial planners.

The appointment was announced at the CSF’s annual general meeting held earlier this week.

Farley had been acting president of the CSF on an interim basis since the departure of Luc Labelle in March.

Previously, she was the SRO’s vice president, legal and corporate affairs and secretary of the CSF.

A lawyer by training, Farley has served the CSF since 2001.
