The financial advice industry is full of women driving change — building businesses, leading teams, mentoring others, and helping clients navigate increasingly complex financial landscapes. The 2025 Women to Watch Awards aims to recognize that work.

Nominations are now open for this year’s program, which will culminate in an in-person celebration on October 21, 2025, at Tribeca 360 in New York.

The awards highlight both individual and organizational achievements, with categories designed to reflect the many ways women are contributing to the profession — from financial literacy advocacy to executive leadership and long-term impact.

This year’s individual categories include:

  • Allyship Champion of the Year
  • Executive Excellence Award
  • Female Trailblazer of the Year
  • Financial Literacy Champion
  • The Alexandra Armstrong Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Financial Services Industry
  • Portfolio Manager of the Year
  • Rising Star Advisor of the Year

Organizational categories include:

  • Employer of Choice
  • Excellence in Gender Diversity & Inclusion
  • Excellence in Philanthropy & Community Service
  • Fastest Growing, Female-Led Advisory Team

Submissions are open until June 13, 2025, and are welcome from across the industry. Self-nominations are accepted.

Excellence Awardees will be announced in August ahead of the awards ceremony, where winners will be recognized for their contributions and leadership in shaping the future of the financial advice profession.

More information on eligibility, criteria, and how to submit a nomination is available on the event website.
