Service

Jim Abel retired from the Ameritas board of directors in 2022 after 29 years. We appreciate his service and exemplary leadership. L. Javier Fernandez joined the board, and we’re glad to have the perspective he brings.

Ameritas had a good year despite the economic forces and global events that made 2022 a master class in what we can’t control. Our mutual structure, diversified business model, strategic mindset, and record of financial strength and stability make it possible for us to continue growing, creating opportunities and taking the long view.

That’s how we fulfill lives.
