The Financial Planning Association (FPA) has moved to honour the late Gwen Fletcher by naming a key planning industry award after her.

The FPA said the Gwen Fletcher Memorial Award would be a prize awarded to the highest-achieving student in the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) Certification Program each semester.

FPA chief executive Mark Rantall said the award honoured the memory of the late ‘first lady of financial planning' and supported a key legacy of her lifelong endeavours to champion the vital role of education and its central importance in nurturing the financial planning profession.

He said it was a way to both honour and perpetuate Fletcher's service to the profession and, by extension, the financial wellbeing of all Australians.

The FPA said the first Gwen Fletcher Memorial Award would be announced on 20 June, with the second awarded on 14 November. Each award is valued at $1,000 each, funded by the FPA.
