P. Kemp Fain, Jr. was a notable pioneer in the development of the financial planning profession. Kemp Fain was the first person to enroll in the nascent CFP education program and among the first class of graduates in 1973. He formed the first chapter of the International Association for Financial Planning (IAFP), served as national president and chair of the Institute of Certified Financial Planners (ICFP), and was twice chair of the CFP Board of Standards, the licensing body for CFP Professionals. Kemp wrote a seminal white paper, "One Profession, One Designation," which set an initial vision for the financial planning profession.  It is in honor of this vision and work that this award is bestowed.

Dr. Yeske holds a doctorate in finance from Golden Gate University, as well as an M.A. in Economics and a B.S. in Applied Economics from the University of San Francisco. He has been practicing financial planning since 1990 and is Managing Director of Yeske Buie, a financial planning firm with offices in Vienna, Virginia and San Francisco, California.
