Primerica, Inc. (NYSE:PRI), a leading distributor of financial products
to middle income households in North America, today announced that 3,000
representatives are expected to attend Primerica’s 15th
Annual African American Leadership Council (AALC) meeting at the Orlando
Word Center Marriott in Orlando, Florida, on March 27-29, 2015.
The focus of the three-day event is the African American market, and the
conference includes a variety of workshops on leadership, product
training, and an assortment of financial and marketing topics designed
to help Primerica representatives better serve the African American
families in their communities.
“From its simple beginnings in January 2000, the AALC has grown into a
significant force within Primerica. Our mission remains the same today
as then: Empower African Americans in Primerica with leadership and
resources to establish a legacy of financial independence through
entrepreneurship,” said Ivan Earle of Columbia, SC, Primerica Senior
National Sales Director and AALC Co-Chairman. “This annual conference
provides a wonderful opportunity to achieve our mission by mentoring,
educating, motivating, and rewarding the success of everyone in
attendance. I’m excited about all that we’ll accomplish over such a
short period of time.”
Glenn Williams, Primerica’s incoming CEO, is participating in the
meeting and commented on the event’s importance. “I’m pleased to
participate in the AALC meeting – it always has a positive impact on
Primerica and helps inspire great performance by our sales force,” he
said. “The AALC meeting comes at the end of a tremendous first quarter
for the company. We came out of the starting blocks fast in January and
February, and all key distribution metrics have grown in the first two
months of the year versus the prior period: recruiting of new
representatives, new life insurance licenses, life insurance policies
issued, and Investment and Savings Products sales. And I’m especially
pleased that for the first two months of the quarter, our sales force
cash flow is up 9% over the prior year period,” said Williams. “The AALC
meeting is a great first step in our march to the 2015 Primerica
Convention at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, where we expect tens of
thousands of people to come together in July to celebrate Primerica’s
successes, learn from dynamic leaders, and set our course for the
remainder of the year.”
