Kelly O. Crisp, an Edward Jones financial adviser in Washington, recently attended the Edward Jones’ Women’s Leadership Forum at the firm’s headquarters in St. Louis.

The leadership forum, held to recognize successful female Edward Jones financial advisers, provided Crisp with advanced training and networking opportunities in which she shared business-building strategies with her colleagues.

“This forum gave us the opportunity to learn best practices, business-building ideas and strategies that have helped these financial advisors achieve a certain level of success and better serve their clients,” said Amy Williams, a former Edward Jones financial adviser who now is responsible for the Women’s Leadership Forum. “We can now document these ideas and use them to support other financial advisors as they provide excellent client service.”
