A Message from 2026 MDRT President John F. Nichols, MSM, CLU
For nearly a century, MDRT has been synonymous with excellence in the life insurance and financial service profession. Founded on the principle of "Constant Advancement Together," MDRT brings together the world's leading financial advisors and is uniquely positioned to ensure advisors and their companies achieve more.
Today, thanks to support from companies around the world, MDRT members represent more than 700 organizations in 85 nations and territories. By supporting advisors' engagement with MDRT, companies are investing in their growth, success, and long-term prosperity. [...]
As MDRT’s 100th President, I do not take our organization’s global growth for granted. I remain focused on advancing MDRT’s mission to be a valued, member-driven network of advisors who serve clients with the highest standards of ethics, knowledge, service and productivity.
I am also focused on ensuring that our members continue to benefit from exclusive resources and events that help them deliver the best client service in the world. MDRT helps all members grow personally and professionally, discover more efficient solutions for clients, and pursue work-life balance as part of the Whole Person concept.
MDRT is committed to financial advisors throughout their careers through its Family of Brands, which includes MDRT and two other associations designed to support financial services professionals at every stage of their careers. The MDRT Academy helps advisors who are striving to achieve MDRT-level production, and the MDRT Center for Field Leadership supports field and home office leaders on their professional journeys.
MDRT membership is a powerful motivator and a prestigious career milestone. By supporting your advisors in achieving MDRT membership throughout their careers, you recognize their dedication and commitment, securing their loyalty and reducing turnover.
MDRT looks forward to continuing its valuable company partnerships for many years to come. Thank you for your company’s support as we continue to engage your advisors in meaningful ways and help them achieve greater success.
Sincerely,
John F. Nichols, MSM, CLU
2026 MDRT President
