The Certified Financial Planning Board is searching for the best financial planners – those who have met the ”standard of excellence in financial planning.” On Thursday, the CFP Board of Standards announced the Financial Planning Hall of Fame, a prestigious new recognition program honoring “visionary leaders whose groundbreaking accomplishments have transformed the profession, elevated its standards and enhanced its impact on society,” according to the CFP. The nomination period is open through March 31, 2025.
 
“The pioneers who have shaped financial planning didn’t just build a profession. They redefined what it means to truly serve the public,” said CFP Board CEO Kevin R. Keller, CAE. “Through their vision and innovation, holistic financial planning has become a powerful driver of financial security and personal well-being for more Americans.”
