This annual award is inspired by Alexandra Armstrong, chairman and founder of Armstrong, Fleming & Moore Inc., and celebrates pioneers in the field of financial planning. It recognizes women who have had long careers as advisers, a track record of leadership in the profession and/or at charitable organizations, and a demonstrated commitment to serve as a role model or mentor to other women. It also acknowledges women who have earned the admiration and respect of their peers.

The recipient of this year’s award will be chosen by InvestmentNews’ selection committee and honored at an awards luncheon scheduled for 2021 in New York City.

The fall of 1997 was full of change! Technology was in the headlines as new names of companies appeared every day. IPO was a new buzz word and stock prices ran wild while the common belief was that stock prices and the value of stock options no longer were tied to earnings but were tied to some cryptic formula based on new ideas and digital services. Of course, this all proved to be false, profit and earnings in fact are the underlying principle building blocks on which corporate value is built and time proved this. Once again, the message of the day was to think about the future. So, the question should be: “what will things be like twenty or thirty or fifty years from now?” not “what will things be like in next quarter or next year or even five years from now?”

Somatic Finance is a new way forward in personal finance. Evolving our personal relationship with money is an opportunity for courageous opening and deep transformation, because true wealth is so much more than money. True wealth is the embodied experience of inner sufficiency, of having and being enough. When we feel this sense of inner sufficiency, our joy and generosity flow naturally, not as a concept, but as a direct, visceral experience. We don’t ignore the practical matters of money — it is our modern world. We become money masters — which means your inner wisdom aligns impeccably with manifest actions.

Our mission is to teach embodied finance through classes, events, coaching, writing, videos, audio and practices, so that people everywhere, no matter their current financial situation or mindset, can enjoy whole-body wealth as a felt experience.
