Top agents gather at Conference of Excellence
Gleaner Life’s 2023 Conference of Excellence proved to be an unusually rustic opportunity to honor a group of 49 unusually dedicated agents.
Located in the Laurel Highlands of western Pennsylvania, the Nemacolin Resort provided a remarkable setting for 2023’s conference. Gleaner’s independent agents come from a wide variety of backgrounds and regions, and they were able to grow from an equally diverse environment at the conference. In addition to workshops and time spent exchanging ideas, they were able to participate in some challenging activities. Examples included stream fishing, rafting, bicycling, golf, sporting clays and several games.
The annual conference recognizes Gleaner’s independent agents not only for their sales accomplishments but also for their dedication in giving back to their communities. Independent agents serve their neighbors, often in challenging circumstances. They frequently advise multiple generations of the same family, and are free to recommend the solution that best fits each person’s particular situation. Gleaner is honored that so many recommend Gleaner Life, and that so many choose to volunteer with Gleaner. In many cases, agents play vital roles in local arbors. These arbors give their home communities additional support for charities, schools, projects, and much more.
The awards dinner recognized the past year’s outstanding performers including Jerry Cvach, the overall top agent and No. 1 in providing annuity solutions. This year’s runner-up in overall conference credits was Tara Gordon.
Michael Drayton was recognized as the leader in life insurance policies. Runner-up was Marty Regan Jr.
Finishing second behind Cvach in annuity production was Gary Sirak, who also was named the top new agent. Daniel Zeiger was honored for adding the most new members to the Society.
Finally, Debi Tiell received 2023’s award as the Fraternal Agent of the Year. A separate story about Debi and her team’s accomplishments can be found on Page 4.
