2025 PLANADVISER Emerging Leaders Nomination Period Is Open

We will recognize the next generation of leaders across the retirement plan advisory industry.

PLANADVISER is pleased to open the nomination period for the second annual class of Emerging Leaders, highlighting the next generation of leaders in retirement plan advisement.

The PLANADVISER Emerging Leaders recognition is awarded to those who have worked in the retirement plan advisory industry for at least three years, but no more than 15—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 vets the nominees in July, and the winners are announced in August.

For more stories like this, sign up for the PLANADVISERdash daily newsletter.

Anyone working with a person 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 reach out to get the senior adviser’s endorsement.

The 2025 PLANADVISER Emerging Leaders will be recognized at the PLANADVISER 360 event in November. Additionally, the event includes a half-day of networking and educational opportunities dedicated to this up-and-coming group, along with others early in their retirement plan advisory industry careers.
