Potential recipients: Non-NAPFA member possibly a journalist, state or national politician, government employee etc. Criterion: A significant contribution that greatly enhances Fee-Only financial advisors, the profession of providing financial consulting services, or helps educate consumers on the benefits of having a comprehensive financial plan and working with a highly qualified financial advisor. This contribution may be a single act or a cumulative performance. Significance will be measured by a positive impact on practitioners, consumers, or the profession as a whole. The effort exerted by the candidate will also be considered.
Nomination process: Nominations will be solicited from the membership through the NAPFA Advisor. An announcement should be placed in the September issue. This will allow ample time to check any disciplinary records that may be available. The nomination should identify the specific act or performance for which the award is recommended, as well as a brief description of its impact.
Selection process: A committee of three individuals (the outgoing Chair and two other Directors as appointed by the Chair) will select from nominees submitted by the membership and the Board.
The NAPFA Special Achievement Award does not need to be given annually, but rather only given in years when someone truly deserves due to his or her contributions. The award will be made in conjunction with the National Conference.
