One Simple Rule Guides All We Do

The Golden Rule Marble, encircled with a band bearing the inscription – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Matthew 7:12) – was created by Jesse Shwayder in 1910 as a timeless symbol for living, upon which he founded the Samsonite Corporation.

GOLDEN RULE

Sixty years ago, the founder of our partner firm, Valmark Financial Group, was given the Golden Rule Marble which became an enduring touchstone guiding the firm toward the highest ethical standards in all of its dealings.

When Demboski & Chapman joined the Valmark family of firms, the Golden Rule Marble was presented to us as a guiding principle in all of our practices:

  • Serving as an industry model for relationships built on trust and mutual respect
  • Addressing the financial needs of our clients with innovative, collaborative solutions
  • Safeguarding clients’ best interests at all times

 

Watch this short video to learn how we “Bring the Golden Rule to Life”…in the lives of our clients and in all that we do.
