The Power of Goal Setting
very year our Chief Executive
Officer reports to the
membership on the health of
the organization. This year, the 2012
Annual Report from CEO Eivind
Heiberg appears on page 30 of this
month's Viking.
Sons of Norway is your
organization. I would encourage
you to review the report to gain an
understanding of how we are doing
in each of the three aspects of our
business-Fraternal, Financial and
Foundation-and how each, working
together, makes us strong.
We have a lot to be proud of. We
have grown as a fraternal life insurance
company, we have had an increase in
the number of insurance members, and
our lodges have made their communities
better, with increases in both service
activities and financial support.
To help our organization thrive,
the International Board of Directors
has set goals for this biennium:
establish five new lodges, increase
the risk-based capital ratio, increase
membership by 2% and increase
financial product sales to current
uninsured members by 5%.
Your lodge can contribute to
the betterment of Sons of Norway
by establishing goals as well. Look
at where your lodge needs to
improve and set goals to guide your
efforts. Also consider making at
least one goal in each of the three
areas of our operations: Fraternal,
Financial and Foundation. How about
increasing the number of cultural
programs, supporting the Foundation

with a fundraising event, increasing
your lodge's volunteer involvement,
retaining more of your members,
holding a membership dinner, or
inviting your Financial Benefit
Counselor to give a presentation at a
lodge meeting?
Goals are important and I urge you
to consider ways your lodge can strive
to make 2013 even better than 2012.
vert år avleverer vår administrerende
direktør en rapport om
Marit Kristiansen
International President
organisajonens tilstand. I år finner du
administrerende direktør Eivind Heibergs
2012 årsrapport på side 30 i denne
månedsutgaven av Viking.
Sons of Norway er din organisasjon.
Jeg oppfordrer deg til å lese gjennom
rapporten for å få en forståelse av
hvordan vi gjør det i de tre grenene
av virksomheten-broderskapsdelen,
finansielle tjenester, og Foundation-og
hvordan disse tre grenene gjør oss
sterkere gjennom samarbeid.
Vi har mye å være stolt av. Vi har vokst
som et broderskapsbasert livsforsikringsselskap,
vi har sett en økning i antall forsikringstakere,
og våre lodger har bidratt til
bedre lokalsamfunn, med fremdrift i både
serviseaktiviteter og økonomisk støtte.
For å bidra til fortsatt fremgang har det
internasjonale styret satt mål for denne
toårsperioden: etablere fem nye lodger,
forsterke risikobasert kapitaldekning, heve
medlemstallet med 2 % og øke salget av
finansielle produkter til medlemmer uten
forsikringstjenester med 5 %.
Lodgen din kan også bidra til å bedre
Sons of Norway gjennom å sette sine
egne mål. Ta en titt på hvor lodgen din
trenger å forbedre seg og sett mål som
kan veilede arbeidet fremover. Vurder
også å sette minst ett mål i hver av de tre
grenene av virksomheten: Broderskapsdelen,
finansielle tjenester og Foundation.
Hva med å øke antallet kulturelle
begivenheter, støtte Foundation gjennom
en pengeinnsamling, øke lodgens involvering
i frivillighetstiltak, holde på en større
andel av medlemstallet, arrangere en
middag for medlemmer, eller invitere din
finansielle rådgiver til å gi en presentasjon
på et lodgemøte?
Mål er viktig og jeg oppmoder deg til å
vurdere måter lodgen din kan strebe etter
å gjøre 2013 enda bedre enn 2012.
