Access new caregiver resource benefit
Are you actively caring for an aging family member or friend, or planning to do so in the future? Are you an aging adult yourself? Thrivent wants to help families navigate their aging and caregiving concerns with a new membership benefit—
Caregiver resources, powered by Dari, provide a self-guided healthy aging and caregiving online platform. It’s backed by licensed, credentialed social workers, called Care Guides, who have experience helping families navigate the challenges of aging and caregiving.
More than one in five Americans are family caregivers, providing care to an adult with health needs, according to a
“When we talk about eldercare, it’s not just about finances,” says Steve Sperka, vice president of Health Solutions Design, Implementation & Support at Thrivent. “People are experiencing emotional, physical and educational challenges, and they need advice. Dari is designed to help with that, to meet our clients where they are at with the support they need.”
Thrivent clients with membership can access Dari’s personalized online resources, including articles, videos, blogs and checklists. You can live chat (Ask Dari) with an expert and get personalized recommendations (Dari Recommends) to your situation and location. Dari also sends emails to enrollees with content related to their concerns. There is no cost to you; Thrivent pays the fee.
“This could be a lifeline for families who suddenly find themselves in the midst of a caregiving crisis,” Sperka says.
Royal named chief financial & investment officer
Thrivent’s David Royal has taken on an expanded leadership position, adding chief financial officer (CFO) responsibilities to his current role as chief investment officer.
Royal, with a new title of executive vice president, chief financial & investment officer, fills the CFO role left vacant in April by Vihbu Sharma.
“David is perfectly suited for this elevated role,” says Terry Rasmussen, president and chief executive officer. “He brings a comprehensive financial services perspective, encompassing insurance, asset management, corporate development and banking.”
Royal has a track record of strong leadership, strategic vision and financial acumen, and he has a keen understanding of Thrivent and our clients, she says.
Rasmussen highlighted the world-class investment team he’s built, the organization’s award-winning mutual funds business and the strong performance of Thrivent’s General Account. “David is steadfast in his commitment to stewarding the assets our clients trust us to manage,” she says.
Royal joined Thrivent in 2006 and served as deputy general counsel of Thrivent and chief legal officer of Thrivent’s mutual funds before becoming president of Thrivent Mutual Funds in 2015. He assumed the role of chief investment officer and executive vice president of Asset Management in 2017 and added leadership of Thrivent’s banking offering in 2019.
New Live Generously T-shirt design is here!
More than 26,000 Thrivent clients and others selected “Heart of Service” as the new design for the popular Live Generously® T-shirts in online voting that took place in early August.
The design reflects the heart of generosity of the Thrivent membership. Planning for the shirts started in March, and a focus group of more than 200 Thrivent clients and others helped select the final three designs included in the vote.
The new design will appear on black T-shirts, the same soft tri-blend material that wearers have known and loved since 2015. The T-shirts will be available in Thrivent Action Team Kits for those that apply on or after Jan. 1, 2023. Currently, there are more than 10.9 million Live Generously T-shirts in circulation.
The T-shirts, manufactured by Bella+Canvas, are dyed and cut in Los Angeles. The company cites eco-friendly processes, including extensive recycling and a small carbon footprint.
Clients love the T-shirts, telling us:
- “I love that you keep changing the T-shirt design. Everyone loves to get a new T-shirt.”
- • “We have completed a number of Thrivent Action Teams that have benefited so many: fresh vegetables to the needy, access to gardens and walking paths for the disabled, etc. We all proudly wear our Live Generously T-shirts.”
