For 52 years, First Command has been proud to serve military professionals and their families. We have coached hundreds of thousands of Americans in their pursuit of financial security. And this year we are reaffirming that time-honored commitment to the men and women of our armed forces through the launch of the First Command Military Advisory Board.

We are pleased to seek the advice and independent perspective of a special group of respected military leaders who share our passion for serving the needs of military members and their families. The Military Advisory Board consists of senior officers and NCOs from each service. They have strong credibility within their respective service, maintain ongoing relevance in the military community and have expressed a cultural compatibility with First Command.

We are fortunate to have launched this special organization with an impressive slate of recently retired senior flag and noncommissioned officers from each of the military services. Their role is to keep First Command fully informed on important matters facing military professionals so it can remain positioned to optimally support these professionals—and their families—on their financial journey.

“The members of the Military Advisory Board believe in our mission and share our passion for serving the needs of those who serve,” said Scott Spiker, CEO of First Command. “Each one has enjoyed a long and distinguished career, rising to the pinnacle of his or her service. They now work successfully in post-military careers while remaining positively involved in the military community.”

The Military Advisory Board will provide the leadership of First Command with advice and perspective on a number of important issues, including:

• Trends within the various military services affecting military personnel and their families
• The evolving needs of military families
• Ensuring our product and service offerings serve the best interest of military families
• Establishing stronger, more collaborative relationships with each military service, their civilian workforces, their reserve forces and the National Guard.
• Aligning the company’s high ethical standards with the high standards of the military

“This is an exciting development in our continuing journey forward with the military services,” Spiker said. “The members of the First Command Military Advisory Board are fully committed to helping us help the men and women in our military services plan and reach the financial security they seek for themselves and their families.”
