Pensionmark is proud to announce eight advisors across our network have been named to the 2020 NAPA Top Women Advisors List across all 3 categories - Captains: Kathy Branconier, Brea Dantin, Shelly Horwitz, Shannon Main, Debbie Matustik; All-Stars: Kristen Deevy, Michele Lantz; and Rising Stars: Veronica Taylor.

This is the sixth year the National Association of Plan Advisors, a branch of the American Retirement Association, has put out a list of women advisors who are making significant contributions to a male-dominated profession.

The list includes 3 categories of advisors, all chosen based on qualitative and quantitative responses related to their retirement plan practice and their experience throughout their career in the industry. The three categories include:

• Captains: All-stars who happen to be principals, owners, or team captains of their organizations.
• All-Stars: Top producers who have their own practice.
• Rising Stars: Top producers who have less than five years of experience with retirement plans as a Financial Advisor (some have been working with plans longer, but not as a plan advisor).
