By Mike Burke on August 20, 2022October 22, 2025 August 16-18, 2022 – Great Valley Advisor Group (GVA) hosted our VAST Advisors from around the country for company updates and meetings, dinners, a round of golf at Stonewall, and the BMW Championship at Wilmington Country Club. VAST is an exclusive, internal-only, leadership summit for GVA’s top-producing advisors. VAST was created to harness the vast talent of our network. This invitation-only annual event is designed to bring the minds of our most innovative and leading advisors together. The BMW Championship sets the stage for the top 70 players in the world to compete in the penultimate event of the PGA TOUR’s FedExCup Playoffs. As a Champions Club level sponsor of the event, GVA employees and advisors enjoyed prime seating at the first tee and access to exclusive dining and beverage options. Over three days our advisors networked with each other, heard from GVA management, and learned from presentations by BizEquity, FS Investments, and Victory Capital. GVA is proud to work with such an educated group of both men and women, as we extremely value all our advisor partners. We also greatly appreciate the partnership and support of our friends at BizEquity, FS Investments, and Victory Capital. We appreciate everyone’s time and commitment as we know traveling isn’t always easy. GVA is a strong family, and we love having you all be a part of it!
