ormally this page is reserved
for messages from our
International President.
However as I'm writing this article,
we're still a few weeks away from
electing a new International President,
so Dan Rude and the Viking staff asked
me to fill in this month.
With the International Convention
on the horizon, Dan and I both find
ourselves reflecting on a number of issues
that we feel are important to Sons
of Norway as a whole. One of the most
N
pressing issues is " How do we define
who we are, not just to the outside
world, but to our own members? "
The way I see it-and the Board of
Directors would agree-is that our organization
is defined by the difference it
makes in the lives of members, as well
as in the communities it serves. This
is proudly accomplished by providing
insurance solutions and fraternal
programming, celebrating fraternalism
through volunteerism and philanthropy,
and supporting our lodges with
resources to showcase our Norwegian
heritage and culture.
Dan and I believe these are all equally
important aspects of our identity as a
fraternal life insurance company, which
is underscored by the interdependent
relationship that exists between our
fraternal, financial and Foundation
operations. I'm very proud of the hard
work we have done together, along
with the leadership of Sons of Norway
over the past four years, to help support
members and lodges who are making a
difference throughout our organization.
With Dan's departure, I look forward
to working with our new International
President on these issues so that
together we can continue to build a
bright future for Sons of Norway.
