Awards
The Million Dollar Round Table membership is independently produced by The Premier Association of Financial Professionals®. Members must meet a certain level of premium, commission, or income during the year and must also adhere to strict ethical standards. John McCarthy applied for this membership and a fee of $550 was paid to be a member. There were no fees to promote the membership.
Membership in The Resource Group is based on the top 200 planners within LFN’s independent broker-dealer, Lincoln Financial Advisors (LFA). The goal of TRG is to collaborate and share intellectual capital – including financial planning expertise, resources, networking opportunities, and practice management strategies – to help drive practice development among advisors and provide industry-leading service to clients.
LFN’s President’s Club is an internal recognition based on sales as well as good standing with the firm and FINRA.
LFA Top of Council recognition is an internal recognition determined by annual sales amounts.
