Dear Friends of LinkedIn Omaha,

I wanted to share with you that for the second year in a row, I have been named to the National LIFE Foundation’s LIAM (Life Insurance Awareness Month) Planning Board of Directors.  I’ve found this to be a very great honor and look forward to participating on the committee.  Each September, LIAM executes a campaign to create awareness of the need for Life Insurance and Survivorship Planning.  Last year, we hired Molly Shannon, one of the most popular comediennes on television today, as our national spokesperson.  Molly had a very personal story of loss to share and we all welcomed her support.  We are currently exploring opportunities for this year’s spokesperson.   Our campaign slogan for 2008 is “Life Happens.”  In support of this year’s effort, I will be hosting a new series of public workshops this fall to focus on Surviviorship & Estate Planning to discuss what one needs to do should they be named as Beneficiary, Executor or Trustee.  I’ll be posting invitations and hope you’ll consider joining me. 

The Issue:

American Families often fail to plan for and cover the catastrophic financial losses that occur due to the premature death of a breadwinner.

A recent survey indicates that 68 million Americans have no life insurance and those with coverage have far less than most experts recommend to ensure a secure financial future for their families. In fact, ownership of life insurance has been declining for decades and the impact is being felt in very human terms today. When a loved one dies without adequate life insurance coverage, surviving family members often face very difficult financial consequences like having to work additional jobs or longer hours, borrow money from friends and family, move to smaller, more modest housing, or put plans for a child’s education on hold.

With so many Americans in a financially vulnerable situation today, the life insurance industry has created a month-long public awareness campaign aimed at encouraging the public to take stock of their life insurance needs. Life Insurance Awareness Month (LIAM) is an industry-wide effort coordinated by the nonprofit Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education (LIFE). Each year, LIFE is joined in this educational initiative by more than 100 of the nation’s leading insurance companies and other industry groups. All share the same objective: to end the unnecessary financial suffering that so often occurs when a loved one dies.
