Galbraith earns honor for work as financial advisor

Pearl Galbraith of Edward Jones recently won the firm’s coveted Zeke McIntyre Pioneer Award, which recognizes new financial advisors who achieve high levels of success early in their careers with the financial services firm.

Galbraith of Whitefish was one of only 125 of the firm’s more than 16,000 financial advisors to receive the award.

She received the award at the Edward Jones Region 4 regional meeting in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Jim Weddle, the firm’s managing partner, said the award is a strong indicator of a financial advisor’s future success.

“We recruit and hire our financial advisors from among the best, so we expect them to do well,” Weddle said. “But to achieve such success early in her career with Edward Jones is outstanding, and I commend Pearl for her performance and dedication.”

The award is named after Edward Jones legend Zeke McIntyre, who opened the firm’s first branch office in 1957 in Mexico, Missouri. Galbraith’s office is located in Kalispell.
