This year McKinley Carter announced its second annual Excellence in Advising award winners. The program was established last year to recognize the quality and type of service that our investment advisor representatives provide to clients and colleagues.
Once again, Principal and Director of Advisory Services Brian T. Gongaware, CFP® coordinated the internal awards program and encouraged nominations from among the firm’s client base.
