The coveted Excellence Award (given to the highest-scoring winner from the individual award categories) was won by Trenna Probert this year.
Probert took home the award as the highest-scoring individual award winner after having been named Thought Leader of the Year earlier in the evening. Probert was recognised for her work establishing Super Fierce - a social enterprise focused on helping women get a better deal on their super and for championing economic security and a fairer super system.
The inaugural Outstanding Contribution Award – a special award that recognises the contribution the recipient has made to the industry and financial wellness throughout their career – was presented to Foxton Financial founder and managing director, Brooke Hepburn-Rodgers.
Hepburn-Rogers is an SMSF Specialist Accountant and Tax Agent with over 22 years’ specialist experience and has spent her career dedicated to improving SMSFs.
