From the National President by George S. Charles, Jr. As we celebrate 125 years ON FEB. 21, 2011, our Association will celebrate its 125th anniversary. As we celebrate this historical milestone, we must pay special tribute to the dedicated founders of William Penn Association and all of the past and present officers, directors, former auditors, employees, sales representatives and members who devoted so much time of their lives in building our Association that is shared by us all today, with much pride and fond memories. Your dedication, loyalty and commitment to our goals are based on our many years of progress generated by thousands of dedicated people who are determined to move forward. One of our Association's objectives for the year is growth and development. Our continued objective is to build fraternal programs at the local and national levels that will attract prospective members to our organization. We also have an obligation to continue to promote leadership skills so as to ensure a bright future for our Association. We must believe that the cornerstone of our existence is firmly rooted in dignity and responsibility. We must recognize talent, ability and loyalty. Our Association has been fortunate in that we have many members of all ages involved in many programs and activities. I have been associated with WPA since birth and have had the privilege of working for the Association. Without a doubt, it has been a great pleasure and continuing learning experience for me to represent you. I hope you know how much I sincerely appreciate your support and trust. It is inspiring to know that our Association realizes the importance of family and will continue to support the family and family values. On behalf of my wife Dianne and son Steve, as a family and members, we salute William Penn Association. Our Association is one of the finest fraternal benefit societies in existence. We can grow and continue to prosper with good leaders and programs. I am very proud to be a leader of William Penn Association. My goal is to continue to serve you with enthusiasm, intelligence and care, guided by ideals, dedication and love. We have an excellent working fraternal team. Our officers, directors and Home Office staff contributes their talents to the ideals of our Association's mission statement: "To provide financial security to our members through quality life insurance and annuity products; and, to support fraternal, ethnic, cultural, charitable, educational, patriotic and religious works." Our National Directors are prepared to meet the many new challenges which lie ahead. During the past year our National Directors, along with your National Officers, have been planning for growth and development. Our National Directors are now preparing for our 37th General Convention to be held in September. We are continuously working on developing new programs and products for growth. So remember, the next time one of our sales representatives asks to review your insurance, welcome them into your home. Our sales representatives, along with you, our membership, represent our Association's future. Our Association is a strong, vibrant, growing reality and our future will continue to be strong. We must keep our Association alive making our future generations and members proud to be a part of William Penn Association. Our National Directors and National Officers are committed to making the changes necessary for William Penn Association's future growth and long-term success. Every member has a stake in our Association because it is part of our heritage and lives. It belongs to us all, and we have an obligation to ensure that it is here for the next 125 years. So let us all rededicate our commitment and loyalty to William Penn Association. I would like to close by expressing my sincere gratitude to all those persons who have contributed to and helped build WPA for more than 125 years to what it is today. I would also hope that our staff and membership continue the passion and commitment to the traditions they have inherited and pass them to future generations over the next 125 years. □ William Penn Life 0 February 2011 0 3
