Happy Global Running Day!

Today we're celebrating the runners in our office who understand that success isn't always about speed... it's about showing up, staying committed, and continuing forward even when the path gets challenging.

That's one reason running resonates with our office. Whether you're training for a race or working toward important financial goals, the journey is rarely a straight line. There will be hills, unexpected turns, and milestones worth celebrating along the way.

We're proud of the runners on our team and grateful for the opportunity to help our clients navigate their own unique journeys.

Join us in wishing a very Happy Birthday to our office manager, Fadoua!

A proud military spouse originally from Tunisia, Fadoua brings a global perspective, adventurous spirit, and genuine kindness to our office each day. Her love of travel and connecting with people reflects the curiosity and enthusiasm that make her such a valued part of our team.

We are grateful for all she does and hope this next lap around the sun is full of all the things that bring her joy!

Sometimes there is an “I” in team. Last week’s lone champ wanted tonight’s theme to be MARVEL-ous.

Whether you’re a Marvel fan or you just know how it fits in with pop culture, tonight will have you part of the Universe.

6:30pm tonight at the Sustainers’ Pub. You’ll find the Infinity Stone, err the trophy, up for grabs!

One of the unexpected perks of serving our community is getting a front row seat to some truly incredible local events.

The Dinwiddie Car & Airplane Show this past weekend is the perfect example of this!

We're proud to support events that celebrate the people and passions that make our area unique, and we're grateful for every opportunity to connect with our neighbors outside the office.
