Patrick Sciarra Seeks To Reclaim Top Spot On The First Investors Chairman’s Council

New York, NY, March 18, 2009 - Although he has several weeks left until the final tally on April 24, Patrick Sciarra looks strong in the First Investors' performance rankings for 2008-09.

Since beginning his career with First Investors in 1985, Pat Sciarra has become one of the most respected and admired representatives in the Company's history. His remarkable success is directly attributed to his ability to help his clients achieve their financial goals by making investment recommendations suitable to their needs.

In June 2008, Pat was honored for his career-long success and commitment to service by being inducted into the Platinum Level of the First Investors Chairman's Circle. This is the highest career achievement award that a First Investors representative can earn, and Pat is one of only two representatives who have qualified for this honor.

Indeed, Pat's superior work ethic and his emphasis on personal attention have earned him numerous awards over the years. For nine years, he was President of the First Investors Chairman's Council, an exclusive group of top performers. In fact, he has been in the Council every year since its inception in 1999. Most notably, Pat was First Investors' highest-ranking representative for an incredible twenty consecutive years. His streak was only broken in 2008, after a record-setting performance by the current Chairman's Council President, Greg Steinmetz.

It remains to be seen whether or not Pat will reclaim the title of President of the First Investors Chairman's Council. His main competition is incumbent President Greg Steinmetz, who also happens to be the only other member of the Platinum Level of the Chairman's Circle.

However, his clients and colleagues know that, for Pat, the true rewards lie not in the accolades but in the service he provides. As Pat says, "My clients know that I'll be there for them, and that I'll provide quality service. The satisfaction that I receive from helping them achieve their financial goals is the real reward for me."

Qualification for the First Investors Chairman's Council, Chairman's Circle and other recognition programs and titles (such as President) are determined by First Investors' internal points system, which is based on sales of investment and/or insurance products. For more information, please contact a manager at a local First Investors office.
