Karen Strange

The Ambassador

I was so blessed to have had a wonderful job as a manager for a portrait studio for 25 years but in 2010 it was time for me to move on because of changes in the industry, and my employer was ready to retire.

I knew when I was looking for a new job that I wanted to serve people and I became a member of The Advisors Group family in 2010. I was hired to be the receptionist and was excited to have a job that didn’t require retail hours. I had no idea at the time that this job would bring on many new and wonderful relationships with not only the staff, but the clients. I truly enjoy engaging with people and getting to know all of you. We really do have the most wonderful clients!

After about a year into my employment they decided to change my title to “Client Concierge” and sometimes, “Client Ambassador”. I hope I live up to that title, which basically involves the idea that I will do anything within my power to help you in any way possible…quite simply whatever you need me to do. Among many other things I am available to make appointments, convey requests for distributions, etc. and will help you get the answers you need from the appropriate advisor.

In 2018 I was given the opportunity to have more responsibilities and to work as an assistant to Shelby, John and Sherryle. I have gained a tremendous amount of experience in helping to process forms and certain client requests, and it gives me more ways to provide services for our clients.

A little bit about me, I am married to my high school sweetheart Randy who is an RN at Covenant Health Systems and have a wonderful daughter Amy who is married to our favorite son in law Joe. Randy and I love to travel and have been to more than 12 countries so far. I also love to cook, read and spend time volunteering at my church.
