"We would like to thank all our advisors for their vote and continued support. They are the reason we are continuously enhancing technology, introducing new product solutions, and always striving to provide exceptional levels of service. 2016 has seen the launch of many new programs such as a customized marketing and coaching program, and a women advisors group. Other exciting programs are planned for 2017."
Earlier this month the leaders in all four winning divisions attended an open panel discussion in Chicago, IL.
