Carson Group said Thursday that it has launched Carson Wealth Advisor Mentorship Program, a new initiative that pairs experienced advisors with next-generation professionals within Carson Wealth’s network.

“At Carson, we believe our greatest strength lies in our people,” said Burt White, Carson Group's CEO. “Mentorship is one way we invest in those people and build the bridge between where advisors are today and where they’re capable of going. It helps strengthen confidence and capability, deepens our culture of collaboration and helps ensure continuity across generations of leadership."

More broadly, White continued, "it’s a key part of our long-term strategy to attract, develop and retain top talent across the Carson ecosystem. The firms that will lead the future of wealth management are the ones building intentional pipelines of next-generation advisors to lead with purpose. This program is a meaningful step in preparing and empowering that next generation to carry Carson forward.”

The new initiative is part of Carson’s broader Generation 2 and Generation 3 advisor initiative, which focuses on preparing the next generation of firm leaders through intentional development and hands-on guidance.

The mentorship program builds on insights from Carson’s 2025 Women in Wealth Study, which found that nearly half (47%) of high-AUM female advisors with more than a decade of experience cited mentorship and professional guidance as among the most important early-career decisions they made, Carson Group said.

“This new program is all about belonging, growth and building momentum for the future,” added Lisa VanArsdale, vice president of Advisor Development. “As a practitioner-led firm, we believe the best learning happens from those in the field — advisors helping advisors grow.”

VanArsdale, who joined Carson in August, brings more than 15 years of experience as a G2 advisor. VanArsdale’s newly created role focuses on "scaling Carson Wealth’s G2 and G3 advisor programs through structured mentorship, leadership councils and learning networks designed to accelerate development and deepen engagement across Carson’s national footprint," the firm announced.
