A little over a year ago, Lorrie Stroud started a  call to help and support the women agents of United First Financial called the Women Agent’s Forum.  Little did she know that it would be over 900 members strong a year later.  I don’t think she could have imagined the amount of agents male and female that were looking for help and direction.  One year later, we now are know as the U1st Leading Ladies.

I entered on the scene to give my help and assistance.  I was able to bring my technical knowledge to the team.  We built a website, we record our weekly calls.  We have the pull and the reputation in the Company as one of “THE” groups to be a part of to find the help and support that agents need.

I an very humbled at being able to be a leadng this group with Lorrie and the hundreds of other United First Financial Agents.  We put a lot of time and energy into bringing the most up to date information and by featuring the top leaders in the company on our calls and website.  We have also had best selling author, Cynthia Kersey on our call as well.  She was able to share her Unstoppable Challenge with our group.  It is working wonders for those who were able to take part.  As a group we have also started giving back.  We headed up food drives at our Agent Trainings around the country.  We teamed up with UFirst Corporate and Feeding America to help local Food Banks in the cities we have our training meetings in.

It is so fullfilling to know that we have been able to give someone a direction, or a new idea, or the boost they need to make thier first sale.   So much has happened in our 1st year.  I, for one, can not wait to see what happens this next year!!
