Kathryn Colvin, an Edward Jones financial advisor in Lakewood, recently received the firm’s Spirit of Caring Award designed to recognize those financial advisors who exemplify the values, culture and spirit of giving back.

The award is given to one financial advisor in each of the firm’s 316 regions and is determined by a vote of peers.

“Edward Jones is a partnership. That structure is not just financial, it’s a philosophy,” Colvin said. “We work together, help each other and all share in the rewards of working with long-term individual investors. That brings out the best in everyone. I am humbled to be this year’s recipient of the Spirit of Caring Award.”

Colvin was presented with the award at her Edward Jones regional meeting in Celoron.

Edward Jones, a FORTUNE 500 firm, provides financial services in the U.S. and through its affiliate in Canada. The firm’s nearly 19,000 financial advisors serve more than 8 million clients with a total of $1.7 trillion in client assets under care.
