Angie Acree, an Edward Jones branch office administrator in Littleton, recently received the firm's Spirit of Caring Award designed to recognize those branch office administrators who exemplify the values, culture and spirit of giving back. 

Acree has demonstrated unyielding dedication to giving back, which has positively impacted her clients, colleagues and community, the company said.

The award is given to only one branch office administrator in each of the firm's 312 regions and is determined by a vote of her peers. 

"Edward Jones is a partnership. That structure is not just financial, it's a philosophy," Acree, who will be celebrating her 25th year with Edward Jones next month, said. "We work together, help each other and all share in the rewards of working with long-term individual investors. That brings out the best in everyone. I am humbled to be this year's recipient of the Spirit of Caring Award."

Acree was presented with the award at her Edward Jones regional meeting in Rocky Mount..
