The Association of Financial Advisers has opened nominations for its AFA Awards 2022, following a two-year pause in the event.
A statement from the association says it is calling for nominations for this year’s two AFA awards:
- AFA Adviser of the Year, sponsored by Zurich
- AFA Female Excellence in Advice, sponsored by TAL
AFA CEO, Philip Anderson says the AFA Awards champion excellence, diversity and innovation by recognising the outstanding leaders in advice and rewarding inspirational female leaders in advice.
“We are excited to run our adviser awards program for the first time since 2019 and are looking for people within our profession who are doing great things for their clients and leading our profession in the direction of a brighter future where great advice is broadly recognised and valued,” Anderson says.
“It is great the AFA Adviser of the Year Award has come to life again for 2022 and we are really pleased to be an ongoing partner of this prestigious award,” says Kieran Forde, Chief Distribution Officer, Zurich Life & Investments.
“This award recognises outstanding individuals and celebrates qualities of leadership, innovation, customer-centricity and commitment to professional excellence. Zurich is known for its longstanding commitment to high quality financial advice and this is just one of the ways we can ensure we support the profession, recognise the talent of these individuals and the positive contribution they make to the financial advice profession and broader financial services industry.”
Niall McConville, General Manager, Retail Distribution, TAL, says that as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting women in financial advice, it is proud to sponsor the Female Excellence in Advice Award for the 10th year running.
“The award highlights the benefits that diversity brings to the advice profession and encourages more women to enter the industry. We are excited that we can once again recognise and celebrate outstanding women in financial advice who are making a significant contribution to their profession, their community, and their clients.”
Nominations for both AFA Awards opened on Monday 11th July, and can be made via the following links:
