"An unexpected benefit of contributing at the level I do has been its impact on building and strengthening my relationships in the industry. I learned that when I began to take my responsibilities to the industry seriously then other likeminded people began to take me seriously as well. It isn't why I give, but it has been a real benefit of stepping up as a contributor."

Mitchell G. Rubin
MetLife

"When I first started contributing, it was because I was asked. Now I'm at an age where I've started to realize that we need to focus on the future and on the legacy we leave behind. The Foundation's research provides the solid basis for our own future planning as well as for the future of our industry."

"Selfishly, the dollars I contribute are easily earned back by being able to sit at the table with the great leaders of our industry. To spend time one-on-one with these individuals is life changing. They are so willing to share."

"The intellectual capital that I receive is something you cannot put a price on. The relationships and support are amazing. I have benefited 10 fold from the ideas, the context, the insights shared by others."

"It's really the old adage about drinking from a well dug many years ago by others. Now I want to contribute time and money to help dig the wells of the future."

James L. Cook, Jr.

"The GAMA Foundation compiles the best ideas in the industry into a system that we can train from, be it recruiting, developing new producers or management development. The cost to try to do this on our own would be significant."
