In The News: Advantage 79 Featured in Article, Ads, and Press Release
National Life Group is excited to be entering the Section 79 market, and we want to shout it from the rooftop!  Well, kind of.  As that can be quite unsafe as well as not the best method to get this information across the country, we chose a different approach.

Ads will be appearing in the upcoming editions of Life Insurance Selling, Broker World, and NAILBA's publication Perspectives.  In addition, Peter Weinbaum, VP Advanced Business and Estate Planning, will have an article featured in the August 11th edition of National Underwriter titled "Section 79: It's Not Just Term Insurance."

Lastly, click here to view the press release that will be distributed this week discussing the launch of SecurePlus Advantage 79.
