Nominations close Sept. 7 for the sixth annual Women to Watch recognition program
JUL 26, 2020

The legacy of InvestmentNews as the trusted resource to the advice community presents the staff with a unique responsibility that we cherish. Legacy is a dangerous word because it implies a dependence on the past. But the strength of IN’s legacy is that we have always kept our eyes forward, focused on the future of the industry. 

Most recently, we announced our 40 Under 40 in the June 29 issue, where we highlighted the latest group of young advisers driving the industry forward. And now we have begun accepting nominations for our sixth annual InvestmentNewsWomen to Watch recognition program, where we highlight the women who will carry the advice community in the years to come. 

The leaders we are looking for willingly share their expertise with others in the industry, especially other women, and give back to their communities. Each year, the class is chosen by an InvestmentNews selection committee out of hundreds of nominations, and we share the stories of the exciting paths they took while building successful careers in the male-dominated financial services industry.  

Are there women you know, maybe even at your firm or organization, who fulfill these criteria? If so, please tell us about their efforts. The nomination period ends Sept. 7, and we will announce the winners in November.
