There are only a few weeks left until we announce the finalists of our new and pioneering recognition program — ThinkAdvisor LUMINARIES — which will tell the stories of top advisors and firms, as well as programs, projects and services, driving the industry forward.
The awards aim to celebrate the achievements of advisors, industry executives, teams, RIAs, broker-dealers, asset managers and other firms by showcasing their achievements in four key areas: diversity & inclusion, thought leadership, executive leadership and dealmaking/growth.
Here are some answers to key questions about the LUMINARIES program.
Is there a cost associated with nominations for the program?
There was no charge for nominations in 2021 and should be none in future years.
Why are advisors and organizations participating in the program?
Winners of the LUMINARIES will be featured on ThinkAdvisor through in-depth and year-round coverage that tells the full story of why they were selected and how they are making a difference to the industry.
This coverage will showcase the best practices that the winners demonstrate, so others can benefit in tangible ways from their achievements.
What materials are submitted?
We have requested materials that clearly demonstrate quantitative and qualitative results. Testimonials from advisors, executives, clients and others who have benefited from programs and innovations are also critical, as are links to videos and other multimedia materials.
Which individuals and organizations are participating?
Individual advisors, advisory firms, broker-dealers, asset managers, industry executives and other financial professionals who have demonstrated that they have made a positive and significant impact on their colleagues, clients and/or the industry.
This includes individuals and organizations that have made efforts going above and beyond others in the industry and that have taken unique steps to improve their organization and/or the broader industry through a particular program or strategy.
