CSA Board of Standards


The CSA Board of Standards, Inc. (“BOS” or the “Board”), a not-for-profit organization, was established in the state of Indiana in October, 2001, pursuant to the provisions of the Indiana Nonprofit Corporation Act of 1991.

The CSA BOS was established to review and resolve complaints lodged against Certified Senior Advisors (“CSAs”) for alleged violations of the CSA Code of Professional Responsibility (“Code”) in the conduct of their business. Complaints are reviewed at regularly scheduled BOS meetings.

Currently the Board is made up of five directors, each of whom serves a three-year term. Each director is a CSA, and each brings to their tasks the knowledge gained from many years of professional experience. Collectively, the Board’s professional expertise spans the fields of insurance, financial services, and law, and as a group its directors carry a range of credentials that includes CFP®, ChFC®, CLTC, CPA, and J.D. (the Board also retains outside counsel to assist in conducting Board affairs).

CSA Board Nominations - If you know of a CSA whose professional qualifications and commitment to ethical conduct make him or her a viable candidate to serve on the CSA Board of Standards – or if you’re that candidate – please complete and submit to the Board its Board Nomination Form.
