Celebrating field awards, recognition, and impact. Reimagining mutuality and empowering excellence. As I turn the pages of this year’s edition, I am once again filled with pride and gratitude for all.
As I turn the pages of this year’s edition, I am once again filled with pride and gratitude for all of you. When we gather throughout the year to celebrate your achievements and share progress and ideas, I feel the energy in this community– it’s palpable. I’m inspired by the meaningful impact you have on families and businesses and the significant role you play in how Guardian fulfills its purpose to inspire well-being.
One change you’ll notice this year is that we’ve renamed this publication as Community Impact. This evolution is a direct reflection of your feedback – it captures how you think about yourselves collectively, as well as how we consider your collective impact. There is one statistic I heard this year that has stayed with me. According to the ACLI, life insurers pay out $2.5 billion everyday compared to $3.3 billion from Social Security. Guardian and you contribute to this overall impact, one family at a time. In addition to your daily work with clients, we also see care and generosity in your response to communities in distress.
We often talk about the mutual nature of our success. We had a noticeable increase in our recruiting numbers for financial professionals this year. We know that the need for financial guidance is as strong as ever – research shows that consumers continue to struggle with financial wellness and feel more confident when working with a financial professional. Thank you for helping grow our presence across your communities.
Our commitment to you remains steadfast and we continue to invest in resources to help you reach your best. You can read more about the continued progress we’re making to empower you to reach new markets and to elevate your suite of competitive resources. Thank you for your partnership throughout the year – we value your input and appreciate the importance of aligning on a shared future.
I look forward to continuing our momentum in the year ahead!
Congratulations to all and my best wishes for continued success.
