The Poarch Creek Indians announced July 29 the induction of Nancy Lowrey into Positive Maturity’s Top 50 over 50.
The 2024 Top 50 over 50 honorees were recognized at the organization’s gala event on Thursday night in Birmingham.
Nominated by their fellow citizens, co-workers, family and friends, the honorees are changemakers, and Lowrey is no exception, officials said in a release.
As a founding partner of FS Advisors Inc., Lowrey has more than 20 years of experience in the banking industry. Additionally, she is a registered investment advisor and a licensed insurance agent. Her firms provide investment management, finance, benefits administration and insurance services exclusively to Native American tribes.
Prior to establishing FSA in 2005, Lowrey was a partner of Financial Solutions Inc., a financial services company that provided investment and insurance services to high-net-worth individuals and small business owners. She has worked in various areas of bank management and as an economic development planner for the Poarch Creek Indians. She also had the honor of serving as a Tribal Council Member for the Tribe and as a board member of the PCI Gaming Authority.
“We are thrilled that Nancy is being recognized by Positive Maturity as a recipient of its prestigious Top 50 over 50 award,” said Tribal Chair and CEO Stephanie A. Bryan. “Nancy exemplifies the concept of ‘positive maturity’. She is a beloved leader in our Poarch community — not only for her service with the Tribal Council, but also because of the vast financial knowledge she brings to the Tribe that helps so many individuals and families in and around our home in Atmore.”
The Top 50 over 50 event was created in 2014 by Positive Maturity to recognize older adults in the community who find opportunities to make a difference and become a catalyst in the world. As one of the first senior organizations established in Jefferson County, Positive Maturity was originally created to assess and meet the needs of the aging population.
“Every year we look forward to the night when we get to publicly recognize these outstanding citizens for their community and philanthropic achievements,” said Penny Kakoliris, executive director. “It’s full of fun and special memories.”
Honorees are chosen based on one or more of the following: volunteer/civic engagement and community impact; business or lifetime of achievements; caregiving, medical or social services professions; education or a lifetime of achievement in this category; individuals from Alabama who may no longer live in the state, but whose impact deserves recognition.
