Community Leadership Awards

The Invest in Others Charitable Foundation and InvestmentNews present the second annual Community Leadership Awards, established to recognize and celebrate financial advisers across the nation for their exemplary leadership and contributions to their communities.

The awards program recognizes financial advisers from any brokerage firm, broker-dealer, or RIA firm for their roles as leaders and active volunteers in their communities. We are honoring the philanthropic spirit of financial advisers in four categories: Volunteer Team Award, Mentoring Excellence Award, Volunteer of the Year Award, and Community Leadership Award.

Award honorees are honored at the Community Leadership Awards Gala Dinner, an event made possible through the efforts of the Invest in Others Charitable Foundation, InvestmentNews and a generous contribution from LPL Financial. Proceeds from the dinner go directly into the Invest in Others Charitable Foundation.
