Congratulations to Patrick O'Connor on being promoted to Raymond James' Chief Operating Officer! Patrick O'Connor, who joined the Board of Directors at Junior Achievement of Tampa Bay in 2008, has been a pivotal force in the organization’s growth and success. His visionary leadership as Board Chair has not only expanded Junior Achievement’s learning experiences but has also been crucial in the growth of 3DE Schools, now serving eleven schools across three different school districts. Patrick's unwavering commitment to empowering youth through education has profoundly enhanced the reach and impact of JA's financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship programs across the Tampa Bay area. His contributions have left an indelible mark on the organization and the community it serves.
Congratulations to Patrick O'Connor, Michael Tormey, Michael O'Meara, Tim Killgoar, and Kelly Anderson on their upcoming leadership roles starting October 1. I am looking forward to their collaboration and partnership with Thomas Walrond, the new President of RJA PCG, along with the broader RJA PCG leadership team. I am confident that these strategic changes will foster growth and success for Raymond James & Associates and the firm as a whole. https://lnkd.in/eDmk3gAz
