– While a first-of-its-kind industry event, Excell REPRESENT, brought together a problem-solving community to address the challenges women in wealth face and work to make the industry worthy of the women it’s attracting.
Teri Shepherd, president of Carson Group, emphasized the importance of DEI initiatives in the financial services industry, saying, “We are honored to receive this award from InvestmentNews and to be recognized for our efforts. We believe that diversity of thought, experience and perspective is essential to our success as a firm, and to our success as an industry. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where we can all thrive.”
