Edward Jones Financial Advisor wins award for outstanding year
Natasha H. Palmatier, of the financial services firm Edward Jones, recently won the firm's coveted Ted Jones Prospecting Award, which recognizes financial advisors who achieve high levels of success early in their careers. Palmatier was one of only 629 of the firm's more than 13,000 financial advisors to receive the award.
The award is named after Ted Jones, the legendary son of the firm's founder, who recognized the need to sell securities to individual investors and established the firm's one-broker branch office concept. "I'm very proud to receive an award named after Ted Jones," Palmatier said. "It is because of him that our Cave Creek office exists, and I believe we are serving an important need here for one-on-one investment information. I plan to do my best to continue meeting that need." Jim Weddle, the firm's managing partner, said the award is a strong indicator of a financial advisor's future success.
"We recruit and hire our financial advisors from among the best, so we expect our financial advisors to do well," Weddle said. "But to achieve such success this early in her career is outstanding, and I commend Natasha for her performance and dedication."
