I am pleased to share with you the 2016 Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) Overview. In this booklet, you will find updated statistics and information about MDRT’s membership and programs.
Last year, MDRT had more than 43,000 financial professionals join the organization. We also experienced record attendance at the 2015 Annual Meeting, with more than 8,000 members traveling to New Orleans for three days of Main Platform presentations, educational Focus Sessions and networking. The MDRT Experience and Global Conference, which took place this January in Hong Kong, provided more than 8,000 attendees with the opportunity to experience the benefits of MDRT membership.
A vibrant and growing membership and record attendance at meetings is a testament to the value of belonging to MDRT — The Premier Association of Financial Professionals®. Throughout our 89-year history, MDRT has been committed to delivering access to innovative ideas and generating inspired growth for our members.
In addition, the MDRT Foundation continues to improve lives — whether it’s repairing homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, preparing meals for people in need in Hong Kong, or helping to bring clean drinking water to people throughout the world. The time and talent that MDRT members contribute to help make the world a better place is admirable, and in this booklet you will find an update about the MDRT Foundation and the various ways members can get involved.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about MDRT. If you have any questions about our products, services or benefits, please contact MDRT’s Marketing and Communications Department.
Sincerely,
Brian D. Heckert, CLU, ChFCMDRT President
