I thank all companies and their leaders for the key roles they play in supporting MDRT and the profession. By championing advisors' MDRT involvement, you are investing in their continued growth, success and prosperity.  

MDRT especially appreciates companies in markets with complex regulatory environments that have remained committed to advisor development, compliance and long-term accomplishment. 

Thanks to every company’s support and commitment, MDRT remains a place where excellence is nurtured, ethics are upheld, and members are empowered to serve clients well. 

Through the MDRT Family of Brands – which comprises MDRT, the MDRT Academy and the MDRT Center for Field Leadership – we support advisors throughout their careers. 

What does this mean for you and your company? With engaged members across our Family of Brands, your teams will have a stronger work ethic and higher standard for excellence that drives company success. 

This year, we are excited to launch the MDRT Company Awards to recognize the achievements of companies that foster MDRT values and professional excellence among their advisors. 

Based on MDRT’s official Company Rankings, these awards will be presented at the 2026 MDRT Global Conference in Sydney, Australia, August 23-26.  

We hope to see you there as we honor MDRT Sponsors, the Top Multi-National Company and the companies with the highest MDRT Membership Growth, Retention, and Longevity (overall and by percentage). 

MDRT looks forward to continuing its valuable company partnerships. Together, we are making a difference for our clients and communities as a global force for good.

As we prepare to celebrate MDRT’s 100th Anniversary in 2027, we will honor our distinguished legacy while continuing to adapt, innovate and evolve to support the next generation of advisors and their companies.  

Sincerely,

John F. Nichols, MSM, CLU
2026 MDRT President
