Financial services firm Edward Jones will host a free networking event at Brier Creek Country Club aimed at connecting diverse professionals across the Triangle to foster meaningful relationships with other influential community leaders.

The event, on Thursday, April 11, will feature a number of development sessions, including a moderated discussion on the common challenges that panelists have overcome through their career, and a keynote presentation by Johnny C. Taylor Jr, President & CEO of the Society of Human Resource Management, on Bridging the Wealth Gap.

“Establishing a space for diverse professionals to connect and build relationships is imperative to the continued growth of the Triangle community,” said Brad McRae II, Raleigh-based financial advisor at Edward Jones. “Our firm is committed to the success of the diverse populations we serve, and this event is an opportunity to hear the actionable insights from a variety of leaders’ experiences on how members of our community can support one another and professional development in the region.”
