The Investment Industry Association of Canada (IIAC) issued a reminder on Monday that there are less than two weeks remaining to nominate an individual for the 2017 edition of the IIAC Top Under 40 Award.
The award, now in its fifth year of existence, recognizes the accomplishments of an individual under the age of 40 who has “brought distinction to the investment/financial industry,” IIAC’s announcement states.
Nominees must be full-time employees of an IIAC member firm and must not be a previous recipient to qualify. An independent committee will oversee the selection process, looking for candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to the financial services sector through involvement in professional organizations, charitable service or professional development.
