Dear fellow delegates, guests and friends, As your National President, it is with great honor and humble appreciation that I personally welcome each of you to the William Penn Association 38th General Convention. It is an exciting time for us as we continue to grow and adapt to changing times. We are motivated, member-focused and open to new ideas. Our Association is confronting a time of many changes, and we are meeting these changes. We've come a long way in the last four years. I feel very good about the progress we're making. Our Association is growing in a more balanced way with greater focus on increased membership. We have plenty of work to do, but we are on the right path to stable, long-term growth. Our goal has been to be a stable and respected fraternal life benefit society. Our strategy has been to bring about changes William Penn Association needs to make, both large and small, in how we live up to our shared responsibility with our members, our employees and each other. William Penn Association promises to continue to provide superior advice, products and services, and always act with the highest level of integrity. We are transforming the way we operate to continuously improve the responsibility we have to our members; you are at the centerpiece of any decision. We must also improve the responsibility we have to our employees. We must provide outstanding people the best opportunity to realize their potential. A sincere thank you to my fellow Officers, National Directors, and Home Office staff for all the rewarding experiences that we have shared together. To my dear wife Dianne and son Steve, words cannot express the love and appreciation I have for both of you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being a part of me and helping me with your time, talents and energy for the benefit and growth of our Association. I firmly believe that we have embarked on an era of renewed growth and that the changes we are making will lead to substantial growth. Before I close, I would like to thank each of you for attending our Convention and bringing your expertise to our gathering. You, as organization leaders, have the vision, the knowledge and the experience to help us pave our way into the future. You are truly our greatest asset today and tomorrow, and we could not accomplish what we do without your support and leadership. Throughout this Convention, I ask you to stay engaged, keep us proactive and help us shape the future of William Penn Association. My personal respect and thanks go out to you all. May the good Lord guide us in all our deliberations. Thank you. William Penn Life 0 Special Convention Edition 0 January 2016 0 3
