On Wall Street magazine has created a new and exciting awards program to honor excellence and achievement in Branch Management.

This prestigious award will celebrate ten branch managers for:

• Their commitment to excellence in creating an effective and competitive branch-wide marketing strategy
• Their ability to identify, recruit, develop, retain, and reward talented advisors
• Their dedication to the goal of providing superior client service

A blue ribbon panel of industry leaders has selected the following finalists. The 10 winners will be honored at an exclusive awards dinner and networking event in New York City in March. The winners will be announced online and will be featured in an upcoming issue of On Wall Street magazine.
