London-based financial advisor Alessandro (Sandro) Forte, FCII, CFP, will succeed Andrew C. Lord, CLU, ChFC, as the 59th President of the MDRT Foundation, the charitable arm of the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT), the Premier Association of Financial Professionals®. A 26-year MDRT member, Forte is also a Royal Order Excalibur Knight of the MDRT Foundation and a member of the Foundation’s Inner Circle Society.

Globally, 2.3 billion people lack basic handwashing facilities and do not have access to soap, toiletries or menstrual health products. The MDRT Foundation is proud to partner with Surge for Water at the 2024 MDRT Global Conference and will be hosting a drive to collect much-needed hygiene products.

After a successful 2023 Top of the Table charity partnership, the MDRT Foundation leadership was motivated to continue the dialogue on mental health by bringing Founder and President Diana Chao to the 2024 MDRT Annual Meeting.

The MDRT Foundation funds a diverse range of charities around the world through its Global Grants Program. What they all have in common is a connection to an MDRT member.
