Women in Insurance & Financial Services (WIFS) Honors Fifteen LFN
Advisors

Lincoln Financial Network (LFN), the retail wealth management affiliate
of Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE:LNC), today announced that fifteen of
the firm’s top female advisors qualified for the Women in Insurance &
Financial Services (WIFS) 2015 Circle of Excellence, an award
program which recognizes WIFS members who have achieved significant
success in the insurance and financial services industry. Additionally,
six of the fifteen LFN advisors were featured in WIFS’s debut
publication, Financial Services: Women at the Top – A WIFS Research
Study,
released on July 31, 2015.

WIFS, an organization devoted to attracting, developing and advancing
the careers of women in the financial services industry, had 152
qualifiers for the 2015 Circle of Excellence.

Qualifying LFN affiliated advisors include: Karen DeRose of
Chicago, Ill. (Diamond tier); Betty Harris Custer of Madison,
Wis. and Anne M. Machesky of Edina, Minn. (Emerald); Colleen
M. Bowler
of Dallas, Texas, Cindy Deavel of Vienna, Va., Dawn
Michelle Gordon
of Las Vegas, Nev., Dianna Parker of Dallas,
Texas, Judy L. Smith of San Diego, Calif. and Stacey
Spedden-Irrgang
of Hunt Valley, Md. (Sapphire); Regina Beatty
of Greensburg, Pa., Tara Blair of Fort Worth, Texas, Cecilia
Brown

and Melanie L. Shanty of Lutherville, Md. (Ruby); and Barbara
Morse

Of these qualifiers, Bowler, Custer, DeRose, Machesky, Parker, and
Shanty were selected to represent women at the top of their profession
in WIFS’s debut publication, Financial Services: Women at the Top – A
WIFS Research Study.
WIFS surveyed 800 industry females to answer
the question: Why do some women achieve major success in the financial
services industry and others do not? The results were compiled, analyzed
and serve as the basis for the book, which highlights 23 industry
professionals – including the aforementioned LFN advisors. In it, they
share insight around what attracted them to the business, how they
developed their practices, what they learned along the way and how they
have created a life that blends family, community service and a
fulfilling career.

“The women advisors at Lincoln Financial Network are one of the most
driven and inspirational groups I’ve ever partnered with,” said Nicole
Spinelli, director of The WISE Group (Women Inspiring, Supporting, and
Educating) at LFN. “They have worked hard to become leaders and
influencers in the marketplace and I’m thrilled for their achievements.
I know they will continue to inspire the advancement of all women in our
industry for years to come.”
