At Edward Jones we seek to create a place of belonging for all, and stand with our Asian clients, colleagues and communities in extending our sympathy, empathy and support. We are saddened by the recent shootings in Atlanta, and while that situation remains ongoing, it brings to light the increased violence Asians have faced in the last few years. We strongly condemn violence in all of its forms and acknowledge those members of our community who have been personally affected.
Women make their mark in every aspect of culture, business and society every day – and yet, there is still more to do to ensure that our world benefits from all that women and girls have to contribute. That's why we are proud that our Managing Partner Penny Pennington serves on the Catalyst Board of Directors. Catalyst, the preeminent research organization for women in the workplace, is hosting its annual awards dinner this evening – virtually. Edward Jones will engage and learn from other organizations that share in the important work of advancing representation and promoting equal access to career opportunities, developing solutions for women and underrepresented groups and deepening understanding of workplace inclusion. We're excited to continue to advocate for women and to create a place of belonging at our firm and in our communities for women to fully contribute.
