The faculty and staff of Your College look forward to serving your needs in 2010.

Dear Friends:

During 2009, the financial services sector began an incremental rebound in an increasingly complex, competitive and challenging era.

Our theme for this year’s Report to Investors is “Your College.” This report is dedicated to all of you who share a renewed sense of commitment to the ethical values inspired by Dr. Solomon S. Huebner.

We take seriously the role that we play in ensuring our industry produces leaders who are able to see the new emerging opportunities, deal with a high level of unpredictability and navigate through turbulent conditions. Our mission–to raise the level of professionalism within the financial services industry–has never been more relevant. Our calling to impart expert knowledge–emphasizing that such knowledge must be regularly renewed and ethically applied–strengthens our students’ professionalism, as well as the financial security of the individuals, families, businesses and societies they serve. We offer the technology and academic resources to drive student success. We have driven a remarkable new direction in online learning, giving students more options to study at home, on an airplane, on a train or in any environment.

We are strengthening brands with wide public acceptance. Our CLU® and ChFC® designations are the diamond credentials in the financial services industry. They represent The Highest Standard of Knowledge and Trust. A ninth course has been added to the ChFC® curriculum, raising this designation’s already high educa-tional standards. We doubled our advertising budget to raise client awareness of your designations. We will double it again in 2010.

We are the profession’s source for learning at every career stage. From LUTCF to our master’s programs, The College offers learning opportunities that are relevant to each stage in a professional’s ongoing career development. Other educational tools such as The Wealth Channel® and The Wealth Channel® Magazine, alumni webinars and other events offer opportunities for learning year-round.

Every day, there are 160 faculty and staff members at The College who respond to a personal call to lead through their hard work and passion for academic excellence. Throughout this report to you, our investors, we highlight the many, generous donors to Your College, whose leadership enhances and augments the already rigorous academic programs offered here. They, too, are called to lead through their spirit of philanthropy, critical to the future success of Your College.

Sincerely,

Dr. Laurence BartonPresident & CEOThe American College

ric Boettcher had no problem deciding what to do after graduating from high school in 1987. He began his college studies and also enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve. Thus he began a 22-year long pursuit of two careers: one in the military and another in the insurance and investment business with New England Financial.

When Boettcher was called to active duty in 2008 to serve in Mosul, Iraq as a Major in the U.S. Army Reserve, he knew exactly how to make the most of his time overseas. During a deployment of less than two years in duration, Boettcher earned his Chartered Life Underwriter®, Chartered Financial Consultant®, Registered Health Underwriter®, Registered Employee Benefits Consultant® and Chartered Advisor for Senior Living® designations. Adding to this impressive list, he is nearing completion of his Master of Science in Financial Services degree.

While in Iraq, a normal seven-day workweek for Eric was to wake up early in the morning to work out in the gym, make it to the office for an approximate 10-hour work shift and then study in his room for 4-5 hours a night. “Given that I was a staff officer in a unique assignment, I took advantage of every bit of ‘down time’ while traveling for meet-ings in Baghdad or in various headquarters throughout northern Iraq,” Boettcher said. Most importantly, all of his soldiers have returned home safely. Major Boettcher was awarded his second Bronze Star Medal for his leadership and dedication to duty.

American College President Larry Barton recognized Major Boettcher during the recent Knowledge Summit held in Boston in October. “We are privileged to honor Eric for proudly wearing the uniform of our country and for his similar commitment to represent the best of the financial services profession.”

ur great founder, Dr. Solomon S. Huebner, articulated a frame- work of values in our profession that stands as a cornerstone to our industry today. Most of the concepts which Huebner presented are as relevant today as they were at the beginning of the 20th century.

The inscription on the Huebner Gold Medal reads as follows, “In recognition of distinguished service to education and professionalism.” This is the highest award given by The American College. To put that into perspective, more than 160,000 individuals have College designa-tions, but only 63 individuals have received the Huebner Gold Medal.This year, we paid tribute at The John F. Kennedy Museum and Library to two extraordinary individuals who exemplify the Huebner legacy at the highest level in their lifelong service to education and professionalism, and in their tangible commitment to Your College and its mission.

Gloria M. La Grassa, CLU®, ChFC® has been a tireless supporter and advocate for The American College for many years. She has been a groundbreaking pioneer as one of the earliest woman advisors in the field. Through resolute perseverance, Gloria has emerged as one of our most successful alumnae.

Gloria is the former President of the New York Center for Financial Studies, which provides educational courses and continuing education

scholarship fund for members of armed forces

he Board of Trustees of The American College has approved a Veterans Scholarship Program that will provide tuition support of nearly half-a-million dollars to honorably discharged veterans of the United States Armed Forces.

The tuition assistance will begin in 2010 for veterans who have a financial need, and who demonstrate the interest, capability and professionalism to succeed in a financial services career. The scholarship money will be available for both master’s degree programs and all designation programs. Aid will be in the form of full and half scholarships, based upon financial need.

Over the next decade, the number of personal financial advisors is expected to grow by 41%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Your College is committed to a leadership role in attracting and educating the next generation of financial advisors.

Fred Jonske, President and CEO of M Financial Group and a member of The College Board of Trustees, emphasizes, “Service is a core value of The American College, and in light of our name, it is only fitting that we create opportunities for those who have given of themselves for the benefit of all Americans. By extending The American College’s educational outreach to veterans through our Scholarship Program, we show our respect for their service and establish a path for them to continue serving their fellow Americans. The College will also benefit the entire financial services industry by supporting individuals who have demonstrated integrity, leadership and a commitment to enhancing their knowledge and professionalism.”

Planned gifts Make a difference

James P. “Polly” Poole, CLU® Generous Donor

The late James P. “Polly” Poole, CLU®, who passed away on January 7, 2009, was a prominent leader of The American College over a four-decade span starting in 1961. His leadership and legacy at The College continues today thanks to a very significant bequest of $200,000 that he left to The College in support of the 21st Century Endowment Fund.

Polly spent his career as a Guardian Life agent in Atlanta. He returned from serving as an officer in the Navy in World War II and was convinced by a friend that the life insurance business was right for him. He was extremely successful in the industry and rose to leadership positions in most of the prestigious organizations serving the life insurance profession.

Polly was a Trustee of The American College from 1961 to 1964. He later served as a founding director of The American College Foundation and was instrumental in establishing the 21st Century Endowment Fund.

Polly was a member of the MDRT for 51 years and a charter member of the Top of the Table. He also served in numerous leadership positions at AALU, including president. Polly was quoted as saying, “The insurance business is the greatest paying hard work in America. It’s one of the few businesses where on little or no capital investment, you can build a highly profitable business for yourself – provided you are willing to work.”

Polly’s gifts during his lifetime placed him among our elite donors. His bequest serves as a tribute to his legacy of commitment to professional education at The American College.

Harold CaplanGifts of Charitable Gift Annuities and Charitable Remainder Trust

An insurance agent, who in the early days of his career took a streetcar to client appointments, died this year at age 98, leaving a $430,000 legacy gift to The American College.

Harold Caplan had a remarkable 70-year-long career as a dedicated New York Life agent during which time he qualified for the Top Club and Council nearly 60 times.

“I am sure that your clients and your friends at the Constitution (Philadelphia) office are quite sad to see you leave the business,”Sy Sternberg, CLU® former President and CEO of New York Life, wrote to Harold in 2003 on the occasion of Harold’s retirement. “However, they can tell everyone that they had the good fortune of knowing a ‘New York Life legend.’ Becausethat, my friend, is what you are, now and forever.”

Caplan’s devotion to The American College and its mission of exemplary professional education was no less extraordinary even though he never earned either a designation or a degree from the institution.

Harold became very interested in long-term care coverage and the importance of educating producers through courses offered at The College. With the assistance of a friend, John Nestel, CLU®, ChFC®, another New York Life agent, he established a charitable remainder annuity trust naming The College as the remainder beneficiary. The proceeds of the trust are designated for long-term care education. In addition, he had four charitable gift annuities with The College. All of these planned gifts were executed in the last ten years of his life.

RMCRetiRed ManageMent Club new YoRk lifeof

T he Retired Management Club (RMC) of New York Life has been demonstrat-ing leadership to The American College for many years. The RMC was established 15 years ago by a handful of retired New York Life managers, and their ranks have swelled to 150 members. The RMC members believe that it is important for them to create a legacy filled with purpose for their organization.

Their original philanthropy funded scholarships to New York Life agents enrolled at The College. Two years ago, they decided to channel their funds to support a summer internship at The College. This past summer, The College hosted Coleen Cavanagh as the intern sponsored by the RMC Scholarship Program.

Colleen contributed to the alumni affairs efforts and offered her testimonial about how she was enriched by this experience. She candidly states, “As far as my professional goals are concerned, my options are open. The American College allowed me to see that there are many opportunities available to me. One of them is clearly the financial services indus-try. After completing this internship, I do see myself pursuing a career in financial services.”

The American College is truly grateful for the support the Retired Management Club of New York Life has provided to fund the Intern Program.

“Livin’ the Dream” – a simple three-word phrase that has the ability to capture the imagination and ignite the drive to succeed. For Brian H. Early, CLU®, ChFC®, who passed away tragically in 2007, these words served as motiva-tion and as a sign to himself that he had lived a full and good life. One of his greatest passions was the recruiting and development of other financial services professionals. His legacy of dedication, knowledge, growth and passion for the industry lives on in each of the individuals with whom he worked and in the clients who trusted him.

Dr. Barton presented The First Annual Brian H. Early Lecture this past October, a symposium to promote state-of-the-art management practices and share the passion that Early felt as he was “Livin’ the Dream”. Brian was managing partner for Northwestern Mutual Financial Network in Wayne, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. When he was appointed to that position in September 2000, the firm was ranked 98 out of 100 in new financial representative production. By 2005, it had risen to number 4.

With the guidance of Todd Schoon, JD, CLU®, ChFC®, Senior Vice President- Agencies for Northwestern Mutual, the Managing Partners and Directors of Northwestern Mutual provided the initial, leadership funding of $125,000 to establish the Early Lecture. The Northwestern Mutual Foundation contributed $322,000 in direct and matched gifts to the lecture.

Glenn Boseman, DBA, CLU®, CLF®, who is Dean of the Irwin Graduate School and Roger Hull-James S. Bingay Chair of Leadership at The American College, had the pleasure of working with Brian and took the time to reflect on the man he knew. “Brian was an immensely gifted and talented leader,” Boseman said. “He was the best I’ve ever seen at recruiting new agents and one of the greatest inspirational leaders I have known. If one went into his office psychologically down, that person would leave Brian’s office ‘on top of the world’.”

Brian was also a GAMA International Management Award Platinum winner and an active, respected and beloved friend of The American College, GAMA and the entire industry.

To honor their esteemed colleague and industry icon, Maury Stewart, CLU®, ChFC®, CLF®, Penn Mutual, along with colleagues and friends, created the Maurice L. Stewart Lectureship. The lecture honors the lifelong contributions Maury has made to Penn Mutual, The American College and the financial services industry. The annual lecture was established to address themes and issues critical to the practice of leadership development at all levels of the financial services profession.

Eileen McDonnell, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Penn Mutual, convened the inaugural lecture on October 14, 2009, at The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Philadelphia, with over 200 colleagues and friends of Maury in attendance. “Maury Stewart has devoted his career to leadership development, and he is admired by his colleagues in the business,” she said.

Stewart started his career in the life insurance industry in 1952 as a Penn Mutual agent in Topeka, KS. He spent 31 years as a general agent with Penn Mutual, 26 of those years as a top-performing general agent with Penn Mutual’s Philadelphia agency, where he led the agency to top Penn Mutual honors for 12 consecutive years. Stewart himself has been honored with numerous awards, including 12 Penn Mutual President’s Awards.

Featured speakers were Maury Stewart, CLU®, ChFC®, CLF® and Phil Richards, CLU®, RHU®, CEO of North Star Resource Group. Phil is a also a highly esteemed role model for students and colleagues, having influenced a legion of producers through his industry and agency affiliations.

Future lectures will feature top industry thought leaders sharing their ideas and best practices on leadership.
