MDRT establishes new awards and rankings

PARK RIDGE - The MDRT Family of Brands has added to its portfolio of honors available for exceptional members and their companies.

"These awards establish a new standard of excellence for global financial services leaders," said Ian Green, MDRT immediate past president. "Successful leadership is so much more than just great numbers, which is why these rigorous awards also focus on MDRT's Whole Person concept and commitment to growth as evident by engagement within the MDRT Family of Brands."

MDRT is a global, independent association of the world's leading life insurance and financial services professionals from more than 500 companies in 70 markets. The MDRT Family of Brands includes MDRT for high-performing financial services professionals, the MDRT Academy for aspiring MDRT members, and MDRT Global Services for leaders in financial services.

Using a more holistic approach to measuring achievement, MDRT will restructure and add new categories to its Company Rankings beginning in 2022. These new categories will recognize companies that achieve excellence in the areas of MDRT membership growth, retention and longevity - areas which demonstrate a commitment to investing in their advisers' personal and professional development, the association said.
