Vendor Spotlight
Merrill Lynch



The Richardson Group believes that client relationships are built through teamwork and client involvement. Only by working together—with each of our clients and as a unified team—can we absorb and act on all of the information required to provide outstanding advice. Ann Richardson and Ashley O’Brien are not only partners on The Richardson Wealth Management Group at Merrill Lynch, they also have the privilege of working together as a Mother-Daughter Team.

Senior Partner Ann Richardson quotes, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”. Ann graduated from Iowa State University with a BS degree in Finance and has been in the financial services industry for over 35 years. Ann is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM certificant, a designation awarded to individuals who successfully complete the CFP® Board's initial and ongoing certification requirements. Ann focuses on retirement planning and has defined a process by which she works with each client. She insists on understanding the specific situations of the people she works with; thereby being able to establish objectives, develop an appropriate strategy, and review the progress made towards reaching those goals and objectives. Ann uses a conservative approach to investing focused on tax minimization, capital preservation and estate planning services.
Ashley “grew up” in the world of wealth management and joined the team in 2016. “Wealth Management is all I’ve really ever known. I can remember as a young child hearing my mother come home and talking about the markets. From a very young age I learned basic investment principals, and to this day those principals serve as the foundation of my financial planning philosophy. Being able to provide financial and investment advice to the hard working people we serve is truly a dream come true. “Ashley graduated from Mercer University with a B.S. Degree in Psychology. Her role on The Richardson Wealth Management Team is marketing, assisting with business development, planning and other support of the team. She is responsible for providing clients with a high level of service in various operational and administrative areas. Her passion in life is to positively affect the lives of people she comes in contact with. Whether it be a smile, a wave or helping them achieve their financial goals and dreams.
Through teamwork and dedication to excellence, our entire team is here to help you create, implement, and stay on track with an ideal financial strategy. Our goal is to be your primary source for financial advice and guidance. Our process is simple – we begin by assessing where you are today, explore your long-term goals and needs – determine your optimal plan – or how to get there, and from there we will create a plan to help you meet those goals. Each and every one of our clients have an individualized strategy based on their goals and needs. We are here to help you on your journey to leaving your legacy, whatever that looks like to you.

January Highlights
Meet Carmel Alvis
New Art Instructor
Mobile County Commission grants City of Mobile’s Connie Hudson Mobile Regional Senior Community Center funding for an Art Instructor Position. Commissioner Connie Hudson quotes, “The art classes at the Center have always been extremely popular and I’ glad to be able to assist in engaging an instructor for the program.” The funds are an appropriation of Commission District 2 funds. 
Carmel Alvis has been hired to re-vamp the art program at the Senior Center. Thanks to County Funding by Commissioner Hudson. This position is a vital part of the Seniors Centers Program.
Carmel is a Mobile native and local artist who attends the University of South Alabama’s visual art program.  She has been an active member of the art community for over 10 years and has been a volunteer at Somerby and for the last two years at the Connie Hudson Senior Center . Carmel has been a member of the Watercolor and Graphic Society, Mobile Art Association and the Portrait Society of America. She is the mother of 4 children and a soon to be new grandmother. Her classes will be focused on the fundamentals of drawing and the principles in painting and color.  She hopes to develop self-expression through this creative process along with personal fulfillment.
The art program was one of the first to be developed when the Senior Center opened in 2007. James E. Conlon, Emeritus Professor of Art from The University of South Alabama, was the guiding hand and person who first developed the programs the Center offered in the Arts, with the help of several volunteer teachers in drawing, painting, beading, and quilting. The painting and drawing classes have been conducted by a series of volunteer teachers for the last year and a half. 
Ashley-Nicole Flowers, Supervisor of the Center states, “We are looking forward to this partnership with the County. I am very thankful that the City of Mobile and the County can come together to offer a position like this that will help seniors in Mobile and surrounding areas add to their quality of life through their artistic abilities.”
The art program and membership for the Senior Center is offered to anyone 55 years old or older.
