From

The Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) and TAL have announced the finalists in the 2022 Female Excellence in Advice (FEIA) Award, with the winner to be announced at the AFA Thrive Conference on 23 September 2022 at the RACV Royal Pines on the Gold Coast.

Celebrating its tenth year, the FEIA is a joint initiative by the AFA and TAL, that recognises women in financial advice who are making a significant contribution to their profession, their community and their clients.

The FEIA Award 2022 finalists are:

  • Amie Baker – Rekab Advice
  • Kathy Havers – Viridian Advisory
  • Morgan Hayward – Yield Financial Advisory
  • Madeline Jacovides – Mazi Wealth
  • Kathryn McDonald – Boutique Advisers
  • Cara Williams – Sufficient Funds

TAL General Manager, Retail Distribution, Niall McConville, said “Now in its tenth year, the Female Excellence in Advice Award continues to recognise outstanding female advisers. We hope in celebrating the achievements and unique perspectives of each of today’s finalists we can encourage more women to become financial advisers and in turn encourage more Australians to engage with their finances.”

AFA CEO, Phil Anderson, said “The objective of this award is simply compelling, to get more females into the advice profession and to encourage more females to access financial advice. It is remarkable to reflect upon the fantastic winners and finalists over the ten years of this award, to see such fantastic role models, many of whom have gone on to take leadership positions within the profession. This year is no different, and I look forward to seeing the winner announced at the Gala Dinner on Friday 23 September 2022.”

Finalists will present to a judging panel in mid September about their business achievements, community involvement and views on mentoring, education, gender diversity and future vision.
