Patrick D. Mahoney, CEO of the Financial Planning Association, passed away Feb. 1 from cancer, the association announced today.

“When Patrick was hired as interim CEO in May 2020 and later took on the role of full-time CEO in December 2020, he stepped into an organization facing internal and external challenges. He quickly focused on repairing relationships and revitalizing the Association, laying a strong foundation for the future,” said 2025 FPA President Paul Brahim, CFP, in a press release. “As the association celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, we also honor the life of Patrick D. Mahoney and recognize the numerous contributions he has made during the last five years of service. We are now a better and stronger association thanks to his efforts.”

Mahoney was diagnosed with cancer in 2022. He partnered with the FPA Board of Directors to develop a succession plan, which names Dennis Moore, CFP, FPA’s chief operating officer, as interim CEO while the association begins its search for a successor.

The FPA Board of Directors will convene an executive search committee in the coming weeks to identify FPA’s next full-time chief executive.
