Mount Saint Vincent

Richard White and Mary Griffin honored at the College’s Annual Scholarship Tribute Dinner.

Garden City, NY, May 15, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Industry leaders Richard White, CEO of ShelterPoint Life
Insurance Company (ShelterPoint) and Mary Griffin, President and CEO of the Life Insurance Council of
New York (LICONY), together with over 400 valued clients, partners, employees and friends in a virtual
"who's who" in the insurance industry, raised over $560,000 at a tribute scholarship dinner on
Wednesday, May 1, 2019, for the College of Mount Saint Vincent's scholarship and financial aid
initiatives.

A program close to Richard White's heart is the College's Mott Street Scholarship Program which helps
gifted students who have experienced homelessness or persisted through foster care. This scholarship
program covers tuition, year-round room and board, fees, books, a computer, and insurance.

Mr. White and Ms. Griffin were honored at the gala for their “strength of character, leadership, business
acumen, and devotion to the common good.”

Mr. White attributes this recognition to his entire team at ShelterPoint for the New York Paid Family
Leave program: “My associates and I decided to take the lead in educating the New York community
about Paid Family Leave, and working hand-in-hand with government to implement this new mandated
benefit. Tremendous thanks to my wonderful, hard-working and smart team of associates from
ShelterPoint for making this honor possible.”

The theme of support was woven throughout Mr. White's remarks “...Think of the teenagers who are
homeless, in foster care...Through the Mott Street Scholarship Program, Mount Saint Vincent becomes
the family these kids needed to get the support - that we all need - to get a great education, to have a start
at a successful life.”

Mr. White has almost 35 years of experience in creating and implementing effective strategies for
business growth, diversification, product development, sales expansion, and operational excellence for
several leading insurance companies, including Pan American Life Insurance Company, The Guardian
Life Insurance Company, and New York Life Insurance Company. He also serves as a member of the
Board of Directors of The Insurance Federation of New York (IFNY), and a member of the Board of
Directors of LICONY.
