Meaningful Relationships are Built at AAAA's V.I.S.I.O.N. Conferences

The Association of African American Financial Advisors (AAAA) announces a success story that exemplifies the power of networking and professional development fostered at our V.I.S.I.O.N. conferences.

In 2022, at our AAAA annual V.I.S.I.O.N. conference held in Atlanta, a meaningful connection was formed between two outstanding Black/African American licensed financial professionals, leading to a significant career transition and a testament to the power of AAAA's networking events.

A Black/African American Branch Manager at Morgan Stanley met a top-producing Financial Advisor from UBS during a networking session at the 2022 V.I.S.I.O.N. conference in Atlanta, GA. That encounter marked the beginning of a professional relationship built on mutual respect and shared goals. Two years later, this connection culminated in the Financial Advisor – who is also recognized as the largest producing member in AAAA's database today, making a pivotal decision to transition his business from UBS to Morgan Stanley. Both firms are supporters of AAAA.

This story is not just about individual success; it reflects the core mission of AAAA - A commitment to creating safe, inclusive spaces where licensed Black/African American financial advisors and home office professionals can thrive. Our V.I.S.I.O.N. conferences are designed to facilitate these connections, offering a platform for growth, learning, and peer networking.

As the largest Business Resource Group in the financial services industry supporting licensed Black/African American Financial Advisors, AAAA’s focus remains steadfast on addressing the professional development needs and advocacy concerns of licensed Black/African American Financial Professionals in the Wealth Management sector. This sector of the Financial Services industry needs a voice and a space for growth, which AAAA works in partnership with corporations in the industry to provide.

Necho Carroll, Director of Operations at AAAA, said, “We are proud of the role we play in the financial services industry and are immensely grateful to our partners and members who support our mission. This story from our 2022 V.I.S.I.O.N. conference is a shining example of the potential that can be unleashed when professionals are given the opportunity to connect, learn, and grow in an environment that values and supports their unique experiences and perspectives”.
