[News Release] – Melanie Meyer, CFP, CLU of Santa Clarita, CA was one of 14 financial representatives recently inducted into the prestigious Thrivent Financial Hall of Fame. Meyer is a wealth advisor for the Southwest region of Thrivent Financial.

The Hall of Fame is one of the highest honors Thrivent Financial gives to members of its field organization. Those inducted have at least 20 years of service to the organization, a commitment to helping others achieve financial security and a passion for providing outstanding customer service to Thrivent Financial members.

Melanie credits her ability to listen to people as her greatest professional asset.

“I think it’s important to take the time to listen to a member’s story before talking about finances,” says Meyer. “My job is to help members sleep better at night because everyone has financial worries, and I can help them manage those worries to they can do the things they want to do.”
