ThinkAdvisor’s LUMINARIES 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, including Diversity & Inclusion, Thought Leadership, Executive Leadership and Dealmaking/Growth. Members of the Class of 2021 LUMINARIES were selected by a diverse panel of judges from across the advice industry, and the ThinkAdvisor editorial team. Out of several hundred participants and nominations, the winners represent individuals, companies and executives from 150 firms. For the Thought Leadership & Education award, the judges looked for a clear demonstration of leadership and innovation in how the industry is approaching a key area, such as advisor training/consulting, retirement, financial planning, practice management, client education, behavioral finance, human resources and compliance. The individuals and/or firms needed to have launched a program or project that has not been done before for clients or other industry participants. Such efforts must be improving or aiming to improve current industry thinking and approaches to key issues.
