National Life Group’s good works have not gone unnoticed. We have been named to the Inc. 2022 Best in Business list in the insurance category. Inc.’s Best in Business Awards honor companies that have made an extraordinary impact in their fields and on society.
As you know, our values are to “Do good, Be good, and Make good.” These values inform all we do, including serving middle America, one of the most underinsured segments of the U.S. population, according to Deloitte, with life insurance and annuities to help protect themselves, their families, and their futures. National Life also serves the nation’s school employees, helping provide them with retirement solutions as well as through programs like LifeChanger of the Year that recognize the good they do for their students and in their communities.
“We are grateful to be recognized for what we have been doing since 1848 in serving middle America,” National Life Chairman, CEO and President, Mehran Assadi said. “In honor of our 175th year, it is a privilege to continue to Do good, Be good and Make good every day, just as our founders envisioned so long ago.”
National Life also created BUILD (Blacks Uplifted in Leadership) to address the shortage of people of color in leadership positions. With more than 2,400 members, BUILD’s goal is to create a home at National Life for the ongoing leadership development of Black financial services agents as part of its commitment to positively impact the Black community. BUILD is also an insight group for those who don’t come from that community but serve their financial needs. In February 2022, Black History Month, BUILD held a fundraiser in conjunction with the NLG Foundation which raised $25,000. In August 2022, BUILD hosted an inaugural summit providing training and support.
The Best in Business list, which can be found in the Winter issue of Inc. magazine (on newsstands December 13), recognizes the most dynamic companies of all sizes and industries that have had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole.
Well done, team! Keep doing Good!
