Today, I’m feeling profoundly grateful.
Grateful for our firm’s relentless momentum. Grateful for the opportunity we all have to be part of something bigger than ourselves. And grateful—truly—that so many of you still have the privilege of calling Edward Jones your professional home.
As we continue to optimize our operating model and accelerate strategic priorities, we are making some difficult but necessary adjustments to our home-office footprint. Change is hard. But let’s remember: not everyone gets a seat on a rocket ship. If you’re still strapped in, that’s because your work, your attitude, and your resilience have earned it.
To those impacted by this redesign: thank you for your service mindset and the seasons you’ve invested in our purpose. You should leave with your heads high, knowing your contributions enabled this next chapter. I’m confident you’ll land on your feet quickly; after all, talent rises.
To those who remain: this is your moment. Lean in. Do more with less. Embrace the ambiguity that comes with growth. Our clients, communities, and colleagues are counting on your extreme ownership. Let’s turn this into a masterclass in execution—fewer silos, faster decisions, bigger outcomes.
We talk a lot about gratitude here. Let’s practice it. Be grateful for the work on your plate. Be grateful for the challenge in front of you. Be grateful for the chance to build what comes next. Opportunities like this don’t come often.
Onward—driven by purpose, powered by performance.
