PLANADVISER is pleased to announce the nomination period for our inaugural class of Emerging Leaders.

We are looking for the next generation of leaders across the retirement plan advisement space.

To be considered for PLANADVISER Emerging Leaders recognition, a nominee must have worked in the retirement plan advisory industry for at least three years but no more than 10—whether the person focuses on advising, operations, client relations, data, participant education or some other piece of the business.

Nominations for Emerging Leaders open in May. PLANADVISER and its advisory board vet the nominees in the second half of June, and the list makers are announced in July. Anyone working with an advisory firm employee who has Emerging Leader qualities may nominate that person, and self-nomination is allowed. If a nomination comes from a colleague besides the firm’s senior adviser, we will reach out to get that manager’s endorsement.

The deadline for nominations is June 14.
