The Second Annual William Penn Association Sales Conference was held on September 16, 17 and 18, 1983, at the Sheraton Hotel, Ocean City, Maryland.

Qualification requirements to attend the conference called for $1,750,000 of volume credit in issued business by each producer from October 1, 1982 through August 31, 1983. Our leading producer for the above period was Daniel Wahl with $4,991,000. Mr. Wahl was appropriately recognized with a plaque connoting his performance as “Outstanding Sales Producer” during the period.
