National Guardian Life Insurance Company Sponsors the 2020 Conference of African American Financial Professionals

National Guardian Life Insurance Company (NGL) is pleased to be a Gold Sponsor of the 2020 Conference of African American Financial Professionals. Hosted by The American College of Financial Services, the virtual conference held on August 4 is the largest gathering of African American financial professionals that provides an opportunity for education, networking and engagement.

The conference features speakers and sessions on personal and professional development areas with a focus on African American communities and the wealth gap.

According to the Personal Finance (P-Fin) Index 2019 survey by TIAA Institute, there is a strong link between financial literacy and financial wellness among African Americans. Those who are more financially literate are more likely to plan and save for retirement, to have non-retirement savings and to better manage their debt.  

“NGL is committed to supporting diversity, equity and inclusion not only on a local and employee level, but also through our efforts in the community and in the financial services and insurance industries. We hope to decrease the financial disparities the African American community experiences and create awareness surrounding financial health and wellness,” said Dave Anderson, NGL Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.

Knut Olson, NGL President & CEO will introduce Dr. Dennis Kimbro who will speak on “The Economy in Mind.” Dr. Kimbro is an educator, best-selling author, business school professor and researcher in the field of management, entrepreneurship, and human capital.
