NEW HAVEN, CT – February 23, 2026 – New Haven, Connecticut-based investment management firm Wooster Square Advisors celebrates financial advisor Carlos Salmon’s participation in ringing the Nasdaq Opening Bell in recognition of Black History Month and the Association of African American Financial Advisors’ (Quad-A) 25th anniversary.

Salmon shared the stage with other Quad-A leaders, including Sheena Gray and Alex David, honoring the vision first established by LeCount R. Davis, Sr., the first Black CFP professional and founder of Quad-A. The moment represented both a celebration of progress and a reminder of the work that remains to broaden access and representation in wealth management.

“For me, the bell ringing was symbolic,” said Salmon. “As one of the few Black advisors in wealth management, I understand that representation in our profession is still rare. Moments like this remind us of the responsibility we carry, to expand access, to build trust, to elevate standards, and to open doors wider than we found them.”

Salmon participated in the ceremony as a member of Quad-A and through his service on the board of the Financial Planning Association (FPA), where he works to strengthen and advance the financial planning profession.

“Carlos’ participation in this historic moment reflects both his leadership and his deep commitment to advancing opportunity within our industry,” said Brett Amendola, Founding Partner and Wealth Manager at Wooster Square Advisors. “We are proud to support professionals who are helping shape a more inclusive and forward-looking future for the wealth management industry.”

Quad-A serves financial advisors, planners, home office staff, and other industry professionals and was established to advance the professional development and advocacy priorities of licensed Black and African American professionals in wealth management.
