Ten straight years at the top of one of the insurance industry’s most competitive recognition programs is rare air — and it’s exactly what an El Paso financial advisor just achieved. Elizabeth “Lizzie” Dipp Metzger, CFP®, CPWA®, AEP®, MSFS, has been inducted into New York Life’s Cabinet Hall of Fame, a designation reserved for financial professionals who have logged 10 consecutive years of Cabinet membership.
Metzger wears several hats: Founder and President of Crown Wealth Strategies, Financial Advisor with Eagle Strategies LLC, and Agent with New York Life. The honor goes beyond a single strong year — it recognizes a decade of sustained performance, leadership, and client commitment. This year, she also ranks among New York Life’s Top 50 financial professionals nationwide, and she is one of only 25 company-wide to earn Cabinet Hall of Fame status.
“For me, this recognition has never been about production or awards,” Metzger said. “It’s about earning the trust of families year after year and helping them make some of life’s most important financial decisions with confidence. Being recognized after ten consecutive years is incredibly meaningful because it represents consistency, relationships, and a commitment to always putting clients first.”
Also worth a look: AI in business market to top $1 trillion by 2030, Asia-Pacific leads regional growth and Business Research Co. projects cyber insurance to hit $51B by 2030, with Munich Re leading.
Over the past two decades, Metzger has carved out a reputation as a leading advisor in advanced estate planning, wealth management, business succession planning, and multigenerational legacy strategies. At Crown Wealth Strategies, which she founded, the firm’s philosophy is that financial planning should be fully integrated, deeply personal, and tailored to each client’s vision for the future.
The firm’s proprietary Crown Align™ planning model coordinates investment management, insurance, estate planning, tax collaboration, business planning, and philanthropic strategies into a single, comprehensive wealth experience. Crown Wealth Strategies now serves affluent families, business owners, physicians, and professionals across the country, with a relationship-first approach grounded in service, education, and long-term stewardship.
Metzger’s credentials include Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®), Certified Private Wealth Advisor® (CPWA®), Accredited Estate Planner® (AEP®), and a Master of Science in Financial Services. She is a Life and Qualifying Member of MDRT’s Top of the Table, a member of The Nautilus Group®, and serves on the New York Life Advisory Board of Directors.
“What makes Lizzie exceptional isn’t simply her professional success—it’s the standard she sets for everyone around her,” said Pablo Magdaleno, President of Operations and Client Experience at Crown Wealth Strategies. “She has built a culture centered on integrity, service, education, and collaboration. This recognition reflects not only her accomplishments, but the lasting impact she has had on our clients, our team, and our profession.”
For Metzger, the Cabinet Hall of Fame is more than a personal milestone — it reflects the collective trust of the families she has served, the dedication of the Crown Wealth Strategies team, and the responsibility that comes with helping clients navigate life’s most meaningful financial decisions.
