P. Kemp Fain, Jr. Award

Named for P. Kemp Fain, Jr., this award recognizes an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the financial planning profession. P. Kemp Fain, Jr., formed the first International Association for Financial Planning (IAFP) chapter in 1971 and served as its first president. Additionally, Fain served as president and chair of the Institute of Certified Financial Planners (ICFP) from 1983 until 1985.
