MDRT
MDRT is a Park Ridge, Illinois-based group that represents high-performing life insurance and financial services professionals all around the world. It has members affiliated with about 500 companies in 70 countries and other jurisdictions, and many of the members are based in places like China, India and Thailand.
The group’s latest public Form 990 financial report, for 2018, shows that it reported $14 million in operating income that year on $59 million in revenue and $105 million in assets.
MDRT has been working to deepen existing operations and expand its scope.
The group recently formed a North American Channel Relations Team, to reach out to current and prospective members on its home continent. The group also has set up an MDRT Global Services affiliate, to offer programming aimed at managers who work inside life insurance companies’ home offices and field offices.
MDRT´s Pandemic Response
The MDRT requires applicants for membership to meet sales and other requirements. The group has responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by easing production minimums.
Scritchfield and MDRT emphasized that the group will continue to help members through the pandemic in 2022, with “updated membership requirements enabling members to focus on leading clients to continued success.”
In a statement, Scritchfield said, “MDRT is committed to ensuring our members remain well-supported — to not only help them navigate the ongoing impact of the pandemic, but help their clients and practice come out on top.”
