The Edward Jones’ Financial Advisor Leaders Conference recognizes financial advisers who are among the leaders in the financial services firm.

Alex Johnston was among the only 944 financial advisers who qualified out of the firm’s 14,000 financial advisers in the U.S. and Canada.

The 2015 conference will be in May at the firm’s headquarters in St. Louis.

“Qualifying for this conference shows a tremendous amount of discipline, commitment and work ethic,” said Alan Kindsvater, an Edward Jones partner responsible for advanced branch training, and host of the conference.
