I am thrilled to let you all know that I have just been announced as a semi-finalist in the Female Excellence in Advice Award 2012. 

The Female Excellence in Advice Award program is a joint initiative of the Association of Financial Advisers, TAL and Macquarie Graduate School of Management (MGSM). The Award was established to identify and reward any female financial adviser showing outstanding professional excellence and leadership within the profession. It seeks to enable a better gender balance in the sector by encouraging more women to enter into and take leadership roles. Importantly, the Award also aims to generate awareness about the challenges facing many women in securing their financial future.

To be recognised in such a way and to be in such esteemed company is a wonderful thing. I will keep you all posted on any developments.
