For Starters Fratemals’ trade association unveils new identity THE NATION'S PREMIER association of fraternal benefits societies has adopted a new identity to better reflect its purpose, membership and value to communities throughout the nation: American Fraternal Alliance. The organization, which will be known informally as "the Fraternals" or "Fraternal Alliance," also unveiled a new logo and tagline as part of its new identity. The association, formed in 1886, previously was called the National Fraternal Congress of America (NFCA). William Penn Association is a proud member of the Fraternals. The American Fraternal Alliance is a non-profit trade association with 70 members, each of which is a fraternal benefit society. These member societies operate in 50 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Fratemalists throughout the U.S. and Canada celebrate their common bonds, work together on thousands of volunteer efforts in communities all across the map, and have brought the concept of mutual aid into its third century. The fraternal system is a time-honored, cost-effective way that a large segment of Americans and Canadians provide financial protection to their families. Did you know: • Fraternal benefit societies represent nine million individual mem-William Penn LifeFebruary 2011 bers who participate in 31,500 local chapters — among America's largest member-volunteer networks. • These members contributed an estimated $400 million in direct financial aid to charitable and fraternal programs last year. • Members represent one of America's largest volunteer networks, with individuals volunteering 91 million hours for community-service projects last year. • Fraternal benefit societies have $363 billion of life insurance in force. • Fraternal benefit societies paid $3.3 billion in life insurance benefits, $4.6 billion in annuity benefits, and $475 million in accident and health benefits in the U.S. last year. The fraternal system works. A 2010 economic impact study quantified $1.6 billion in indirect value of "improved social capital" resulting from the activities of fraternal benefit societies. All members of the Fratemals, including WPA, are making these types of positive impact on society. □ AM ERICAN FRATERNAL ALLIANCE United in service and financial security City:-------------------------------NEW Address:___________ City:-------------------------------Current Telephone Number:.
