ST. LOUIS, MO, November 6, 2015— Northwestern Mutual is honoring Chesterfield, MO financial representative Scott Niekamp, CLU®, ChFC®, with membership to its 2015 Forum Group, which recognizes individuals for an outstanding year of helping clients plan for and achieve financial security. Niekamp is affiliated with the Gross Network Office based in Clayton, MO. This is the 10th time that Niekamp received the Forum honor.

“We’re proud of financial professionals like Scott who excel at guiding their clients on a path to financial security,” said Northwestern Mutual President Greg Oberland. “According to our 2015 Planning and Progress Study, people who work with an advisor are twice as likely to feel ‘very financially secure.’ Financial experts like Scott are helping to make the goal of financial security a reality for many Americans.”

Forum honorees will be recognized at a leadership conference held in November. At the conference, honorees will learn new insights from prominent speakers, gain access to advanced training and leadership development and share knowledge with fellow colleagues.

The annual Forum conference is an exclusive achievement, with approximately 5 percent of Northwestern Mutual’s more than 6,000 financial representatives invited to attend.
