"We hope the community will look to us as a resource and partner—one that understands their needs," said Vikki L. Pryor, president and CEO of S.USA Life Insurance Company, Inc. "As our country faces its challenges and people find their own way, we want to help empower them in their lives, beginning with the information they need to make financial decisions. We want to help make them stronger, not just financially, but in every way. We are here to contribute to the growth of the Chicago community. Giving back to the community is part of our business model."

S.USA is a national financial services company serving value-conscious consumers and underserved markets. The company's mission is to empower customers and provide them with the education and tools they need to help take control of their financial destinies.

The Customer Center is open Monday - Saturday and has interactive booths where visitors can research insurance options by themselves online, or ask any of the store's licensed insurance agents for assistance. Customers may also call 1-866-SUSA-123, or log on to S.USA's website at http://www.susa.com for additional information.

Opening of the spacious, well-staffed center occurs during Life Insurance Awareness month, a national effort focused on the large U.S. population – an estimated 50 million people – who presently lack the life insurance coverage needed to meet the long-term financial needs of their families. U.S. Representative Judy Biggert (R-13), Willowbrook, IL is a co-sponsor with Representative Paul Kanjorski (D-PA) of a resolution supporting the second annual awareness month.

S.USA Life Insurance Company, Inc. is one of more than 60 leading life insurance companies and trade associations that have committed resources to the campaign. The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) is a major sponsor of the month, which is coordinated by the Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education (LIFE), a non-profit organization that serves as the educational arm of the life insurance industry.
