The Top Women Advisors list(1) was created by NAPA to recognize the growing number of women who are making significant contributions to the retirement plan industry. Advisors were nominated by NAPA firm partners and their peers and completed an application process. Approximately 600 nominations were received, and more than 12,000 votes were cast in support of these individuals. Honorees were selected by a panel of judges based on their individual experience, contributions, and business composition. List makers were honored in three separate categories: All-Stars, Captains, and Rising Stars.(2)

(2) Nominations were made by NAPA broker/dealer and RIA partners. Honorees were selected by a panel of judges based on criteria such as a candidate’s percentage revenues derived from retirement plans, total plan assets under management/advisement, years of experience working with workplace retirement plans, regulatory compliance record, and credentials. Votes were used to break ties, if applicable. There were 201 qualified advisors considered for this award; 110 (55 percent of candidates) were named to the list. List makers were then separated into three different categories: All-Stars, Captains, and Rising Stars. The nominated advisor need not be a NAPA member. As defined by NAPA: All-Stars: top producers who have their own practices. Captains: All-Stars who happen to be principals, owners, or team captains of their organizations. Rising Stars: top producers who have less than five years’ experience with retirement plans as a financial advisor.
