Real growth in the financial services profession starts when more people get involved—and that’s exactly what this conversation with Stephanie Rivas explores.
Stephanie Rivas, Regional Vice President at National Life and incoming Board Chair of Finseca, brings a unique perspective shaped by years of leadership and industry experience. In this discussion, she shares why engagement is the key to strengthening the profession—from building deeper relationships with current members to attracting and developing the next generation of financial professionals.
One of the biggest challenges facing the industry today is the lack of new talent entering the profession, along with the need to accelerate leadership development. Stephanie highlights why addressing these gaps is critical to expanding access to financial planning and ensuring long-term growth.
This conversation also reflects the energy and urgency coming out of LAMP, where industry leaders gathered to have honest discussions about what’s working, where improvement is needed, and how to move forward with intention.
The future of financial services depends on who chooses to step in, get involved, and lead. More voices, stronger engagement, and a commitment to developing professionals at every stage will shape what comes next.
Together, we are Finseca.
