Advocacy Methods of the Association for Advanced Life Underwriting



Lawrence M. Koresko (Larry) currently serves as president of INSMAX Insurance Brokerage, Inc. in Collegeville, Pennsylvania. Holding a bachelor’s degree in economics and possessing over twenty years of experience in the financial sector, Lawrence M. Koresko is a member of the Association for Advanced Life Underwriting (AALU).

The AALU uses two key methods to advocate for the 75 million American families that depend on annuity products and life insurance. Because the AALU has a politically involved membership, the organization is able to access the knowledge of members in order to educate government officials whose decisions affect those who rely on life insurance.

The main modes of advocacy are AALU Ambassadors and The Capitol Hill Club. In the former, Ambassadors build relationships with policymakers, educate lawmakers on the impacts of potential legislation, and endorse candidates who understand the industry’s issues. The Capitol Hill Club assists in facilitating meetings with key congressional leaders during the AALU’s annual meeting in Washington, DC.

St. Andrews Link Course History


Based in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, Lawrence M. Koresko is the president of Insmax Insurance Brokerage, Inc., where he has been since 2014. In his free time, Larry Koresko enjoys golfing and has played at several famous courses, including St. Andrews Links in Scotland.

St. Andrews Links is one of the world’s most famous golf courses, and its Old Course is considered the home of golf. The game was first played on the course around 1400 AD. Over the next six centuries, that one course turned into seven, and the original course went from 22 holes to 18. Despite the longevity of the sport, golf was banned in 1457 by King James II of Scotland, who thought that young men needed to focus on archery. The ban continued for several decades until 1502 when King James IV took up the sport himself.

The course has seen financial hardships over the years, including bankruptcy, but today the course thrives. The seventh course, the Castle Course, was opened in 2008 due to increasing demand.
