Edward Jones Financial Advisor Ryan P. DeMarco, ABFP™, CRPC™ of Bluffton recently qualified for the firm's Impact conference, which celebrates the contributions and achievements of 489 top financial advisors from among the firm's more than 20,000. The conference, which includes financial advisors from both the U.S. and Canada, will be held May 12-15 in Scottsdale, AZ.
"It's a real honor to be included in this conference. I'm always looking for ways to bring greater value into my practice," DeMarco said. "Given the time I'll have learning from and working with our firm's leaders and peers throughout North America, I have no doubt I'll come back with fresh ideas and new knowledge."
Achieving the level of success that qualifies for Impact involves the collective effort of the entire branch team. In addition to the May conference for financial advisors, a conference specifically designed for the Impact branches' client support teams is scheduled for September 2025.
