or decades, Edward Jones has been committed to providing personalized investment service to individuals, helping clients reach their serious, long-term investment goals. Financial Advisor Pamela Brown joined Edward Jones in 1994, after her husband, T.J. Brown, died in a plane crash. The couple had moved their business, National Airshows, to Amelia Island to enjoy the weather and year-round flying, along with several other families who were pilots with the team. After the accident, Brown’s cousin recruited her to join the Edward Jones firm. Having had a series of wonderful careers, Brown discovered that her teaching background lent itself well to her role of advisor. “Our mission is to provide guidance and financial expertise to people who are going through life transitions,” says Brown. “I spend time with my clients in order to understand their goals and create a plan to achieve those goals.” Brown also shares her skills with many organizations in the community, including the Council on Aging, the AIFBY Chamber of Commerce, and the Downtown Business Association. To make sense of investing, Edward Jones offers face-toface meetings and technology that gives clients instant access to information on their investments. “I enjoy working with so many friends and neighbors, offering our financial expertise, along with the friendly, personalized service and commitment of a small-town business,” says Brown. “Amelia Island is a great community of people and a wonderful place to do business.” For more information, call (904) 277-2466.
