NEW ULM — The Willkommen Committee of the New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce stopped by Thrivent Financial at 108 S. Minnesota St. to welcome new advisor Dinah Spurgin.

Dinah talked to the group about how when she was first approached about joining the Thrivent team, she wasn’t interested. But when she learned that the company wasn’t about insurance sales, but about helping people meet their goals, she decided this was a good fit.

Dinah was born in North Dakota and lived several places before graduating from Martin Luther College. She has worked in education, child care, and fitness. She began the process of becoming a Thrivent Financial Advisor last May and officially began working in October. Contact Dinah at 507-354-4413.
