  • Have proven business success
  • Be a positive role model for other women in the industry and clients
  • Have vision, integrity, self-awareness and work-life balance
  • Support women in community
  • Mentor and develop other women.

Richard Klipin, Chief Executive Officer of the AFA, said: “At a time when our industry is going through great change, it’s important for us to recognise and celebrate some of the outstanding new blood that’s coming through.”

Brett Clark, Chief Executive Officer of Retail Life at TAL, said; “TAL is proud to sponsor this important industry initiative.  We are committed to it as an organisation because we believe in the value diversity brings to all businesses and professions.  The quality of the nominations again demonstrates the calibre of women seeking to make a difference in financial services.”

The winner of the Female Excellence in Advice Award will be announced at the AFA National Conference on Tuesday 30 October 2012.
