Dan Amos of Aflac Inspires at Rotary Club of Columbus Meeting

The Rotary Club of Columbus had the honor of hosting Dan Amos, CEO of Aflac, at their weekly meeting. Attendees were captivated by Mr. Amos's presentation, which detailed Aflac’s incredible journey from its humble beginnings to becoming a globally recognized brand with a remarkable 90% name recognition rate.

Mr. Amos highlighted Aflac’s roots in Columbus, Georgia, where the company was founded in 1955 by three visionary brothers—John, Paul, and Bill Amos. What started as a small insurance business grew into a powerhouse in the industry, transforming lives with its innovative supplemental insurance policies. Despite its global success, Aflac has remained deeply connected to its hometown, continually investing in the community and exemplifying the spirit of giving back.

He also shared insights into Aflac’s profound impact, particularly in Japan, where the company has achieved significant success. Aflac’s unwavering commitment to giving back—a mission that spans its operations in both the United States and Japan—was a key focus of the presentation.

A highlight of his speech was Aflac’s dedication to supporting cancer research, with a special focus on childhood cancer. Through innovative initiatives, such as the sale of the beloved Aflac Duck, all profits are directed toward funding life-saving cancer research and treatment. This heartfelt commitment has made a lasting difference in the lives of countless families.

The meeting was a day to remember, filled with fellowship, inspiration, and the essence of what Rotary stands for—making a difference in our communities and beyond.
