MassMutual Advisors Association

The Advisors Association held its annual fall fly-in this week, where the AAX Executive committee members met with MassMutual leadership and key business partners in Springfield, MA. We had over 130 committee members attend virtually and spent 2 days collaborating with the Home Office and General Agents Association prioritizing the field’s primary needs and setting goals for the year to come.

We were also excited to announce our AAX home office Most Valuable Player for the 2020-21 year: Paul Voss, Head of A360 Operations. Paul has served as primary liaison to the A360 committee for the past 2+ years and has been instrumental in the roll out of Advisor360. He epitomizes partnership, dedication, and a can do attitude. He is a great communicator, leader, and advocate for the field. Congratulations Paul and thank you for all you have done and continue to do for the Advisors Association!

The MassMutual Advisors Association is excited to kick off its new term for 2021-2022. Last month at the annual Leaders Conference in Orlando, Jason Jones, Atlanta-Greenfield, accepted the gavel from now immediate past president, Adam Goetz, Pittsburgh.

For over 130 years, the Advisors Association (AAX) has represented all MassMutual advisors, serving in an advisory capacity to MassMutual home office on issues affecting advisors and their clients.

We are looking forward to another exciting yet busy year ahead!
