A Special Holiday Message From Alison!

RETURN TO TOP

We know the holidays are a special time to slow down and enjoy moments with friends and family — and we’re doing the same. To give both our Advisors and Home Office team a chance to fully unplug, Home Office will be closed Thursday and Friday, Dec. 25–26, creating a four-day weekend for our community.


Because of the break, there will be no Advisor Update email on Dec. 26. We’ll also be sharing reminders in the Advisor Groups and Virtual Crop Group, and pausing posts and comments Dec. 25–28, so everyone can focus on making meaningful memories. Everything will resume on Dec. 29.


As you plan ahead, please note that Home Office will be closed on Thursday, Jan. 1, and the January product launch will take place on Friday, Jan. 2. You’ll receive a preview in your Dec. 29 Advisor Weekly email.
