Arrived home late yesterday from Washington, D.C., and I’m still processing what an impactful few days this was. Our theme said it all: Financial Fulfillment for Every Generation. That’s exactly what we were there to fight for.
As part of the Edward Jones Grassroots Task Force, I joined more than 100 financial advisors and client support professionals for hundreds of meetings on Capitol Hill, all focused on making that theme a reality of American Families.
We tackled three areas where policy can deliver on that promise.
•Supporting America’s 50 million caregivers who sacrifice their retirement to care for loved ones.
•Breaking down barriers that keep people from saving early or participating fully in retirement plans.
•Fixing unfair tax treatment that penalizes families who invest in mutual funds for the long term.
What energized me the most? Seeing how the conversation shifted when we tied policy to purpose. Financial Fulfillnent for Every Generation isn’t just a theme, it’s what these reforms would actually deliver. And lawmakers got it.
Serving on the Task Force is one of the most tangible ways I get to live out the Edward Jones purpose. Making a real difference for clients, colleagues, and communities through advocacy that matters. Grateful to serve as the Montana state chair.
