CHESTERTOWN – Valliant & Associates, LLC, an employee-owned, full-service independent partnership associated with Raymond James Financial Services Inc., announced that Kerry Weber has joined the branch to serve as the Director of Communications.
The financial services practice is owned and operated by Managing Partners Bruce and Mary Ellen Valliant. The married business partners have operated out of Kent County since 1997. The practice also announced they will be opening a second office in Queen Anne’s County later this year.
Weber will spearhead various public relations efforts surrounding the branch’s planned expansion projects, in addition to guiding community outreach initiatives, managing client communications, and directing the marketing of Raymond James products and services to the region. She previously served as the Marketing Director for Eastern Shore Dental Care and was instrumental in overseeing communications during that practice’s re-branding and recent expansion. Prior to that role, she worked in broadcast media at The Walt Disney Company from 2000-2010.
Bruce Valliant, a lifelong resident of QAC, said Weber’s role was created to help strengthen the brand and grow Valliant & Associates in an ever-evolving digitally-obsessed marketplace. “The way we communicate with each other has transformed so much in the past five-to-ten years. We need to be prompt and thorough in how we share information, respond to inquiries and continue to make even deeper, more personal connections with our clients. Kerry’s role will be to guide us strategically and offer precision in these efforts.” Mary Ellen added, “We’re excited about the experience Kerry brings to our firm and look forward the development of new opportunities that will enhance our relationship with the Eastern Shore community.”
The Valliant’s have been named to the Raymond James Leader’s Council in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017*. For more information, visit the branch at 110 S. Queen Street, Chestertown, MD 21620, call 410-810-0800 or visit www.valliantinvesting.com
