In today’s new normal, school districts and teachers have so many things to juggle in the classroom. Things like virtual learning, student and teacher fatigue, diversity and inclusion are all at the top of their minds.

On August 27, NTSA hosted a conversation about “Race and Equality in School Districts” where President-elect, Darlene Flagg led a panel discussion to help schools, educators, and advisors frame their discussions for the classroom. Panelists Tamara Indianer (Lincoln Investment), Carey Earle (Bluestone Life), Damien Adams (National Life), and José Antonio (New York Life Insurance Company) offered candid thoughts on how to have conversations that focus on gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation on school campuses.

As a 25-year veteran of the financial services industry, Teresa has worn many hats including corporate communication, product and concept marketing, meeting and convention planning, training and mentoring. All while also balancing being a daughter, sister, mom, friend and colleague. It’s true, in her first semester of graduate school, she dropped out of her Secondary Education curriculum – recognizing that teachers have a magnificent gift (that she did not). So, she took her love of teaching in a different direction and thoroughly enjoys the opportunity she has to educate you on not just the importance of retirement savings, but also the many ways in which you can plan now to achieve your retirement success! A native of Philadelphia, she is learning to wear a new hat in “Cowboy Country” as a newly-minted resident of Dallas, TX where she spends most of her time corralling her two boys, two cats, a dog and several fish TC124597(1221)3
