Lincoln Financial Group Distribution (LFGD) Sales Team Visits Teach For America (TFA) School To Discuss Importance of Math Skills

On May 7, Lincoln Financial Group held its final Teach For America (TFA) Career Speaking Day at the Antonia Pantoja Charter School in North Philadelphia. Four members of the Lincoln Financial Group Distribution (LFGD) Annuities team demonstrated how they use math every day in their jobs by role-playing different sales scenarios.  Ron Major, Manuel Mejia, Raymond Petrilla and Lorenzo Amaya demonstrated concepts like the difference between simple and compound interest, as well as saving and investing money.

The Lincoln Financial Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Lincoln Financial Group, has had an ongoing partnership with Teach For America. Since September, the company has worked with this eighth-grade class in particular. The students, many of whom speak English and Spanish, have been recipients of school supplies donated by the company’s Radnor and Philadelphia employees, and have participated in a pen pal program with them, among other activities.
