Stephanie W. Mackara, President, Charleston Investment Advisors, LLC
The Women’s Choice Award is the only recognition program for well-qualified advisors who are committed to the women’s market and serving their female clients. At least 1/3 of their clientele are women and achieving this award reaffirms the commitment Stephanie has to extraordinary service in addressing the financial needs of women and their families. “I am honored to receive this prestigious recognition and am eternally grateful to be able to work every day with people who inspire me. I look forward to continuing to help women plan with a purpose, using their wealth as a tool to support their goals and dreams”
WomenCertified, originator of the Women’s Choice Award, was created by Delia Passi, the leading advocate for female consumers and former group publisher of Working Woman and Working Mother magazines. Delia has created the Women’s Choice Award for Financial Advisors in an effort to help women identify those advisors who are committed to providing quality service and cutting their time in half when searching for the right financial advisor to cater to their financial needs. The award allows this elite group of advisors to showcase their commitment to the women’s market, while giving potential clients a starting point for entrusting their finances to an advisor.
