From Edward Jones

 

Local financial adviser Roy L. Parker recently returned from Edward Jones’ Financial Advisor Leaders Conference.

This conference recognizes financial advisers who are among the leaders in the financial services firm.

Parker was among the only 538 financial advisers who qualified out of the firm’s 14,000 financial advisors in the U.S. and Canada.

The 2017 conference was held May 10-12 at the firm’s headquarters in St. Louis.

“Qualifying for this conference shows a tremendous amount of discipline, commitment and work ethic,” said Alan Kindsvater, an Edward Jones partner responsible for Advanced Branch Training, and host of the conference.
