If you’ve found yourself panicking about forgetting to do something before the week’s end, you likely forgot to make your nomination!

Have you met a woman advisor lately who impacted your day, week, or month? Maybe someone you know is making strides in the industry whom you want others to know about? If you answered yes to either or both questions, consider nominating them – or even yourself – for an award!

Last year’s Women to Watch winner Kay Lynn Mayhue, president at Merit Financial, who won in the Female Trailblazer of the Year category, said it’s important to nominate women who have risen to new levels and who are doing things differently than other advisors.

“Nominate those who are leading well and impacting lives,” she added. “We grow from learning about others, and I think that we grow in community, whether that be a formal community inside the same company or just your network of trusted folks.

“These awards are just one additional confirmation that they’re doing the right things. It’s just a fabulous way to put a bow on what they’re doing,” she said.
