*Forbes Top Financial Security Professionals 2023 is a ranking of financial professionals conducted by Forbes through the SHOOK evaluation process. To be considered by Forbes, Kathy Nolan was nominated by an insurance carrier she sells annuities through. Financial Security Professional (FSP) refers to professionals who are properly licensed to sell life insurance and annuities. FSP may also hold other credentials and licenses which would allow them to offer investments and securities products through those licenses.
