Today 18 COUNTRY Financial Advisors and Insurance Agents from our 30 person team in McLean, Livingston and DeWitt counties invested in themselves and embarked on a 6 month journey by enrolling in the RiskWise course created by Dr. Craig LeMoine and his team at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Financial Planning Program in the College of ACES.
To quote Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson. We will get Good, Better, Best….Until Our Good Gets Better and Our Better Gets Best!

Pics from our joint Illini Prairie/Illinois Valley District meeting. SO MANY long term relationships in the room. The knowledge from the Agents and Advisors on the two teams gave us decades of wisdom during our peer to peer sharing. Thank you to our Director of Agency Brian Guenther, Life Operations Director Erin Klein, Financial Specialists Matthew K***z and Maggie Weinke for motivation, operational updates and training. Megan Schofield, COUNTRY Financial Advisor dropped the mic on mindset….”Make Today Better Than Yesterday!”….
Special shoutout to Heather Childers at BluSky Restoration and John Stephens at Stephens Auto Glass for feeding our crew with the awesome Prairie Fire Grill
