FPA searches for well-rounded award nominees
The FPA is calling members to submit applications for its annual awards, which recognise outstanding planners, paraplanners and practices as well as a new divisional award for professional practice of the year.
The recognition of a practice of the year, launched this coming awards season in conjunction with the Paraplanner of the Year Award, is an unconventional step toward further recognition of specific practices within the industry.
FPA chief executive, Dante De Gori, said that the awards were pivotal for celebrating the well-rounded quality of both individual planners and practices in the sector across Australia, with the new award to target excellence at business level and recognise community service.
"The awards will continue to recognise individual excellence in financial planning... just as important is the recognition of FPA members who are dedicated to giving back to their local community," he said.
"Two new award categories have launched this year... the FPA awards are designed to recognise those who go above and beyoung to deliver best practice financial planning for clients.
"I encourage FPA members to step forward and seek some well-deserved public recognition."
