Lighting Up LAMP
In addition to debuting the women’s session,
LAMP ’12 offered the brand-new Resource
Partner megasession, also on Sunday, and
featuring Gold-level partners Harry Hoopis,
CLU ChFC; Bill Grimes; Stu Schlackman;
and Richard Weylman.
In the general session hall, longtime GAMA
favorites Nick Murray and Joe Jordan,
along with newcomer practitioner speakers
like Guardian Life Insurance Company of
America’s high-energy Abraham Ekstein and
Shrage Posen and GAMA Resource Partner
Judy Hoberman, got attendees fired up for the
coming year.
On Monday and Tuesday afternoons, Leading
Practices sessions such as Focus on Culture and
Everything Else Will Follow, with American
National Insurance Company’s Johnathan T.
West, and Priority Management for Advisors,
with Guardian’s David Boykin, CLTC LUTCF,
gave members plenty of best-practices ammo
for sales management and recruiting battles
to come.

The American College’s Mary Quist-Newins, M.B.A.,
CLU ChFC CFP, speaking at LAMP’s first women’s
session, offers hard data about the female impact
on the financial services industry.
“Women represent
over 51 percent of
the population, 25
percent of financial
services producers,
but only 8 percent of
leadership. There’s no
other organization
but GAMA capable
of addressing the
overwhelming needs of
the marketplace.”
