CHICAGO, June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Lakeshore Financial Group is proud to announce the launch of a new brand under their umbrella: Empowered+, a financial services company specializing in serving the LGBTQ+ community.
In a time where 1 out 3 LGBTQ+ adults reported they had experienced some discrimination(1), it became clear to LGBTQ+ financial advisor Mark Joslyn that it was essential to create a space where they could receive the financial planning support they needed without fear of prejudice or judgment.

With the support of Lakeshore Financial Group, Empowered+ is now ready to start bringing Lakeshore’s mission and values of putting the client first, building trust, high professionalism, teamwork, accountability, and excellence to the LGBTQ+ community and their allies.
In celebration of this launch, Empowered+ has committed to:
Becoming a corporate partner of Out In Finance
Making donations to LAMBDA Legal and Equality Illinois to assist their pursuit of achieving full recognition of the civil rights of LGBTQ+ people
Contribute ongoing support to provide free resources to the LGBTQ+ community through workshops and seminars
