JNBA Opens First-of-its-Kind Student Learning Lab in Duluth
For over 30 years, JNBA has taken pride in our rich heritage grounded in academia. This is a tradition started by our founder but one that our firm continues to feel passionately about as we believe education is important for our clients and the community. To do our part in fostering the future leaders of this industry, we were happy that the TD AMERITRADE Learning Lab opened in conjunction with JNBA's new downtown Duluth office on September 8, 2010. The first-of-its-kind Learning Lab isthe result of an innovative educational partnership between the community, the Labovitz School of Business and Economics (LSBE) at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, and the private sector.
"The partners in this endeavor are setting a new standard for collaboration to support our next generation of financial advisors through an innovative learning model," says Tom Bradley, TD Ameritrade Institutional president. "We applaud UMD and JNBA for their forward-thinking efforts to expand an already successful program in a growing field of study. By sharing knowledge, time, and leadership we can build a better industry for the students and the investors they will someday serve."
The combination learning lab and professional office is located in Duluth's Tech Village at 11 East Superior Street. The learning lab will serve LSBE students, while JNBA's wealth management team will provide Duluth-area residents with independent and customized financial planning and asset management services.
