InvestmentNews is beginning its search for individuals, firms and other organizations that go above and beyond when it comes to promoting diversity and inclusion in the financial advice profession. We're counting on you to help us out. If you know an adviser, industry professional or financial planning and advisory firm (or business that supports them) working hard and successfully to promote workplace diversity, please nominate them for one of our awards at investmentnews.com/nominatediversity.

InvestmentNews believes diversity and inclusion are key drivers of innovation and growth. It's imperative that our profession keep pace with the constantly changing demographics of our country and lead the way for diverse perspectives and talent to drive growth and create an even stronger set of future leaders. This awards and recognition program, our industry's first, will highlight and celebrate all those who are moving us closer to that goal.
