Looking Back...and Looking Forward

Looking Back

 

This has been an extraordinary year. Every country, every company, and every individual has been touched by the global pandemic in some way.

At LL Global (LIMRA/LOMA/SRI), we moved fast to support our members where they needed the most help. Here is the video that debuted at our 2020 LIMRA Annual Conference highlighting some of our work.

Looking Forward

 

LIMRA CEO David Levenson opened the 2020 LIMRA Annual Conference describing the incredible upheaval the nation has faced over the past several months. From the coronavirus pandemic and its economic and social fallout to the racial tensions and divisive politics, Dave described a year of unprecedented challenges. Despite this chaos, he suggested this moment offers the life insurance industry a unique opportunity to reach a broader segment of consumers and fulfill its mission to help more Americans protect their families’ future with life insurance.
