An open letter from MetLIfe’s Assistant Vice President:
MetLife is honored to partner with Good Neighbor in providing cost-effective, comprehensive benefit plans that protect expatriates and their families during their international assignments. With a strong focus on missionaries, non-profits, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), Good Neighbor’s client base consists of a noble population that we are proud to serve whenever given the opportunity.
With more than 35 years of experience serving expatriates, MetLife has a strong understanding of the concerns globally mobile employees and their families face when seeking care outside of their home country. Coupling that knowledge with affordable, customized plan designs that specifically benefit missionary and non-profit groups allows us to work closely with Good Neighbor and consistently hold paramount one key priority: the best interest of the clients.
While we are in the insurance business, we pride ourselves on being in the people business as well – and Good Neighbor’s philosophy, one focused on treating others with respect and care, aligns with our ethical standards, creating a seamless relationship that goes beyond business practice alone.
We are thrilled to work with Good Neighbor to provide consistent, affordable, accessible care to people living and working around the world, and look forward to many more years of a strong relationship ahead.
Sincerely,
David Nagengast
