Collaboration and innovation produce winning results on a daily basis for the financial professionals at Northwestern Mutual – Chicago. But add in a friendly competition at the financial planning firm’s Annual Field Day and it’s all about winning the trophy. 

“By nature we are a highly passionate group and it was fun to see our perseverance transfer from our work to our play,” said Kim Ritchell, Director of Recruitment and Selection. “I wouldn’t be surprised if some of our firm members are in training for next year’s events.” 

Under the guidance of Ritchell and Dionna Johnson, Recruiter and the unofficial Chief Fun Officers, the competitions included a tug of war, paper airplane making contest, basketball toss and other relays and games to challenge skills.

When the competitions concluded, it was Dionna Johnson, Recruiter, and Financial Advisors and Representatives Dario Bolanos, Tommy Parks, Jason Conger and Geoff McCammon that won the coveted trophy.
