SIDNEY — Edward Jones Financial Adviser DiAnne Karas, of Sidney, recently received the firm’s exclusive Field Trainer Award for her efforts in voluntarily training new financial advisers.

She is one of 1,265 of the firm’s more than 16,000 financial advisers who received the award.

Jim Weddle, Edward Jones’ managing partner, said, “DiAnne is an outstanding member of the Edward Jones team. We couldn’t grow at the rate we’ve achieved if we didn’t have people like DiAnne who remember what it was like to start out, and who give unselfishly so others can realize the success she has enjoyed.”

Karas’ office is located at 153 Village Green Drive in Sidney.
