The Niemeyer Agency is proud to announce that Christopher A. Sirtak has successfully completed his Fraternal Insurance Counselor (FIC) designation, a meaningful professional milestone that reflects both advanced expertise and a deep commitment to serving Catholic families with excellence.
Chris currently serves Brother Knights and their families across councils in Chester, Evansville, Red Bud, Valmeyer, Hecker, Scott Air Force Base, and Mascoutah. With this designation, he brings an even higher level of knowledge and guidance to the members and communities he supports each day.
The FIC designation is a specialized credential awarded through the American College of Financial Services and is highly respected within the fraternal insurance and financial services community. It focuses on ethical financial planning, life insurance strategies, retirement readiness, and legacy planning, all through a values-centered approach. For Knights of Columbus members, this training is especially impactful because it aligns financial guidance with faith, family, and long-term stewardship.
By earning his FIC, Chris has completed rigorous coursework designed to help families make confident, informed decisions about protecting their future. This includes understanding life insurance as a foundational tool, planning for retirement income, preparing for long-term care needs, and ensuring that a family’s legacy is preserved in a thoughtful and intentional way.
For our members, this designation means access to deeper, more personalized guidance. Chris is equipped to help families:
Protect their loved ones with well-structured life insurance solutions
Build long-term financial security rooted in their values
Plan for retirement with clarity and confidence
Create legacy plans that reflect both faith and family priorities
Chris answered the call to serve more directly as a field agent in June 2025, and since then has continued to grow both professionally and personally in his mission to support Catholic families. His long-standing involvement in parish life and dedication to the Knights of Columbus mission make this achievement especially fitting.
At the Niemeyer Agency, we believe education and vocation go hand in hand. Chris’s FIC designation is not just a professional accomplishment. It is a reflection of his commitment to lifelong learning and to ensuring that no member faces financial decisions alone or unprepared.
Please join us in congratulating Chris on this outstanding achievement and in celebrating his continued dedication to the Brother Knights and families he faithfully serves throughout our region.
