As July comes to an end, so does our summer internship program. I want to take a moment to thank everyone who played a part in hosting and supporting this incredible group of interns over the past 7 weeks. It takes a village to create a great experience! To our interns — congratulations! You’ve spent the summer diving into the business and learning about the industry. We hope this experience gave you a deeper understanding of what we do and why we do it. History has shown us that internships are often the first step in long and successful careers. Many of our current team members started their journey the same way. Hopefully, this summer sparked something in you — a curiosity, a connection, or a sense of purpose — that will lead you back to us in the future as Financial Representatives. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter. We’re excited to see where your path takes you!
