It’s Women’s History Month and we want to show how far the women of Impact have come because of the historical women before them. Let’s take a peek inside Impact and see how the women-dominated departments of our business continue to drive success.
Impact is a team of about 105 members and 38 of them are women. Inside Impact, we may not be a woman-dominated business but we do have some women-dominated departments. These vital departments play a huge role in the accomplishments of our advisors and our business. The success of these women have lead to the success of Impact.
Thank you for being powerful women, standing up for other women, and creating a path for future women.
Operations Department
The Operations department consists of our Life and Annuity Case Managers, Licensing Specialists, Case Processors, Directors of First Impressions, and works closely with the Compliance team. These teams run everything from submitting new business, transferring phone calls from advisors to teammates, ensuring all our advisors are licensed and paid, and even making sure our advisors are compliant. This is a staff of about 20 teammates – 16 of them are talented women, including a motivating woman leader. These teams are a driver of success for our advisors. Without these teams, our advisors wouldn’t be able to submit business, get paid, or create original materials.

Events Department
The Events department runs the show for Impact’s exclusive events. Kickoff, Game Changer, Practice Builder, incentive trips are just a few. We wouldn’t be able to celebrate our advisors or our team without this amazing team and it consists of two powerhouse women. Their previous experiences and paths have lead them to Impact, and we are so thankful their success brought them to us. We wouldn’t be able to pull off an event without a speed bump if it wasn’t for these women.

Some of our departments may not be dominated by women, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have inspiring and groundbreaking women in other departments.
Media Department
