Landmark Financial Honored with Two Awards by 1st Global

Dale Brunk of Landmark Financial, LLC, headquartered in Fort Smith, Arkansas, was awarded the Success to Significance Founder’s Award at the 2018 1st Global National Conference that took place from Nov. 11–13 at the Omni Louisville.

The Founder’s Awards were created to shine a spotlight on individuals who embody pillars of the financial industry by transcending numbers and technical focus to make a profound impact on those who depend on them – their families, clients, employees, communities and the financial industry as a whole. The Success to Significance Founder’s Award honors a leader who has committed to establishing an enterprise-level firm that will continue to serve clients for generations to come.

“Dale Brunk sets himself apart from the crowd because of his commitment to redefining what it means to be exceptional, consistently demonstrating what it takes to excel in remarkable fashion,” 1st Global Chairman and CEO Tony Batman said. “He is dedicated to the individuals, families and businesses he serves, and he creates a precedent for others to follow through his passion and admirable conduct.” 

Additionally, Landmark Financial was named a Level 7 Diamond Eagle, which is awarded to firms based on the criterion of the firm’s production volume across all product lines.

“Diamond Eagle firms set themselves apart from the crowd because of their commitment to redefining what it means to be exceptional, consistently demonstrating what it takes to excel in remarkable fashion,” Batman said. “They are dedicated to the individuals, families and businesses they serve, and they create a precedent for others to follow through their passion and admirable conduct.”

1st Global congratulates Landmark Financial for reaching 7 Diamond Eagle status, and deeply appreciates Landmark Financial’s devotion to serving its clients through comprehensive financial planning advice and commends Landmark Financial on its continued progress and accomplishments.

"In keeping with the level of excellence demonstrated by firms like Landmark Financial, the theme of 1st Global’s National Conference 2018 was 'Redefining Exceptional.' The firm lives out this theme every day in their office by differentiating themselves in the marketplace, pacesetting firm growth and leading the charge on in delivering an extraordinary client experience." Batman said.
