About the 2020 Visionary Leader Awards

Financial Planning seeks to recognize firms and advisors who are implementing innovative strategies to help their practices and their clients in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Have you, your colleagues or peers implemented new cutting-edge processes to support or grow the practice? What counterintuitive ideas have preserved clients’ portfolios, jobs or businesses? Has a technologically savvy employee redesigned or created new tech solutions to make a meaningful impact?

The extended deadline for submissions is May 18, 2020.
