As a founding member of Forsyth Financial Services, Dale Blankenship is motivated to guide individuals and families along the path to reaching their long term financial goals. Using best practices, Dale engages clients with realistic fiscal guidance.
Dale’s desire to help people began when he started teaching in the Springfield, IL school district where he built long lasting relationships within the community. Dale entered into the financial services business in 1978, seeing an opportunity to further aid his friends by teaching the value of safeguarding against unexpected events, selling insurance. In short time, he realized a more comprehensive financial advisor would better aid clients through each aspect of their financial future. From then on, Dale spent the last 35 years building a flourishing financial planning practice.
Commitment to the financial services industry is extremely important to Dale. For more than 30 years he has been a member of The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors, while at separate times holding vice president and president leadership rolls.
As a lifelong resident of Illinois, Dale believes that helping others is a sure way to uplift the community. He has tightly worked with charitable organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club of Springfield Foundation and Sertoma Civic Club to enrich the local area by providing afterschool activities to children and hearing aids to those in need.
