Presentation
My name is Ken Janke and I’m Senior Vice President of Investor Relations for Aflac. I’d like to be the first of a few to welcome you to our 2009 Financial Analyst Briefing.
Things are a little bit different this year so I’d like to brief you on the program. If you didn’t notice by looking at it, tomorrow we actually shortened our program from s full day to a half day. We’re still covering the same topics. We do have some presentations that will be delivered tomorrow. The others we still think are important to a very complete understanding of our business and we’ll continue to update those discussions and publish them in our analyst book that hopefully we’ll have out in the next couple weeks.
We think the streamline program gives us a good balance between maintaining the very robust disclosure you’ve come to expect from us, at the same time getting you back to your office a little more quickly.
We do have quite a few representatives from Aflac with us today and what I’d like to do is acknowledge those folks, have them stand so you can see who they are, where they are, we’ll give them a big round of applause at the end.
Let me begin with our speaking program for tomorrow. Starting with Japan, Tohru Tonoike, who is President, Chief Operating Officer for Aflac Japan; Takaaki Matsumoto who is First Senior Vice President, Director of Marketing and Sales for Aflac Japan; Koji Ariyoshi, Senior Vice President Retail Marketing Promotion for Aflac Japan; Paul Amos, President of Aflac, Chief Operating Officer for Aflac US; Jeffrey Charney, new to our company, Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer for US; Ron Sanders, Senior Vice President, Director of US Sales; Jerry Jeffery, Senior Vice President of Investments and CIO; and Kriss Cloninger, President Aflac Incorporation and Chief Financial Officer.
We also have quite a few other folks from Aflac some of whom again have spoken in the past; they’ve prepared written comments that will be included in the book. I’d like to acknowledge them as well, alphabetically with Martin Durant, Executive Vice President and Deputy Chief Financial Officer; Audrey Tillman, Executive Vice President, Director of Corporate Services; Teresa White, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer; Sue Blanck, Senior Vice President, Corporate Actuary and also First Senior Vice President of Aflac Japan; Ralph Rogers, Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer; Mary Ellen Keim, Vice President Fixed Income Investments; Eric [Lajay], Vice President Field Force Development; Robin Wilkey, Vice President Investor Relations.
