LIBRA Insurance Partners

Cheers to one year! Today marks my one-year anniversary with LIBRA Insurance Partners, and I couldn’t be more proud of the journey so far. From day one, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with an incredible team, support our mission, and help drive growth through business development strategy.   Last week’s Fall Meeting in Frisco, TX was a perfect reflection of what makes LIBRA special: connection, innovation, and a shared commitment to success. It was energizing to see our partners and colleagues come together, exchange ideas, and celebrate progress. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey so far. Here’s to what’s next!  #WeAreLIBRA

Nationwide at LIBRA’s 2025 Fall Meeting: A Celebration of Partnership, Innovation, and Recognition Nationwide was proud to attend the LIBRA Insurance Partners 2025 Fall Meeting—an event that brought together over 100 LIBRA partners and the entire LIBRA staff, alongside 24 leading carriers in the life insurance space. A strong team of seven Nationwide representatives joined the gathering, contributing to the collaborative energy that defines our relationship with LIBRA. We were honored to facilitate three well-attended breakout sessions, including one led by Tony Massenelli, Nationwide’s Divisional Vice President of LTC Sales, and Dan Peterson, President of E4 Insurance Services. Their session delivered actionable LTC sales strategies that sparked meaningful conversations with agency principals. We’re also thrilled to share that Nationwide was recognized as the fastest-growing life carrier on the LIBRA platform through Q3—a testament to the strength of our partnerships and the value we bring to the field. Beyond business, the meeting was a heartfelt celebration. We were privileged to attend LIBRA’s Recognition Dinner honoring Craig Collins, EVP and Chief Relationship Officer, as he prepares for retirement. Craig’s legacy was celebrated with moving tributes from agency partners and a special performance by #1 country songwriter Josh Jenkins, who debuted a song written in Craig’s honor. 📸 I invite you to browse through the images from the meeting and experience the moments that made it so special. 📸 #NationwideFinancial #LIBRAInsurancePartners #LIBRAFallMeeting2025 #NationwideCareMattersAnnuity #LifeInsuranceLeadership #LTCStrategies #PartnershipMatters #CraigCollinsTribute #InsuranceInnovation
