ALBANY, NY (03/19/2014)(readMedia)-- Women in Insurance & Financial Services (WIFS ) is pleased to welcome Advisors' Academy as a 2014 National Sponsor. Through its sponsorship, Advisors' Academy is demonstrating a commitment to WIFS and the advancement of women in insurance and the financial services industry, and to its understanding of the importance of diversity in the field.

"I am proud to welcome Advisors' Academy, and look forward to working with them to change the face of the industry," said Angelia Shay (CLU, ChFC, CLTC, LUTCF), 2014 WIFS National President. "Having corporate leaders and top organizations such as the Academy work with and support WIFS broadens our ability to provide outstanding educational programming, and serves as a conduit for meaningful connection."

Advisors' Academy is an industry-leading training and marketing organization for high-earning financial advisors, and a company in the process of extensive growth. With that growth comes a renewed commitment to diversity among its membership ranks, and recognition of the invaluable perspectives, ideas and energy that women bring to the industry, said Advisors' Academy Founder and President David Scranton.

"Though statistically a minority in our field, we know there are thousands of women enjoying highly successful financial services careers while doing great things for their clients – and we know because we work with many of them already," Scranton said.
