This is one of my favorite things about who we are. Last summer, hundreds of us gathered in Orlando for Modern Woodmen's National Convention. And somewhere between the meetings, conversations, and celebrations... we went to work. Together, our delegates and conference attendees rolled up their sleeves to complete a service project designed to help others. Because for us, giving back isn't something that happens when there's extra time. It's part of who we are. A special shoutout to Linda Ayotte, captured here doing what she does best—jumping in and getting things done—and to everyone who helped make the project happen… especially, our amazing Fraternal Department. Financial services may be what we do. People helping people is who we are. Be Curious. Be Confident. Be Competitive. Be Kind. #UnapologeticallyFraternal Much Love & Cheers. #ModernWoodmenofAmerica #ThisIsMWA #ThisIsUsMWA #PeopleHelpingPeople #CommunityMatters #FraternalLife #GiveBack #MakeADifference

A special shoutout to Shai Cross and the Bluewater Kings Band. 🎶 For years, Shai and the band have made the trip to Indiana to perform at our annual Glitter & Gratitude Gala—and somewhere along the way, they've simply become part of the tradition. Shai is incredibly talented. But more importantly, he's willing to share that talent with others. I think there's something in that. We all have gifts. Different talents, experiences, abilities, connections—something we can contribute. And I'm not sure our gifts were ever intended to be kept to ourselves. Shai, thank you for continuing to share yours with us. For the music, the energy, the friendship, and for helping us celebrate some pretty incredible people doing some pretty incredible things. We're grateful for you, my friend. Keep sharing your gifts with the world. Be Curious. Be Confident. Be Competitive. Be Kind. #UnapologeticallyFraternal Much Love & Cheers. #Gratitude #CommunityImpact #Nonprofits #BluewaterKings #PeopleHelpingPeople #CommunityMatters

Because I said I would. Four pretty simple words. I recently had the opportunity to spend some time with Alex Sheen, founder of the nonprofit because I said I would, and I've found myself thinking about those words ever since. Alex started the organization following the loss of his father in 2012. What began with simple Promise Cards has grown into a movement that has distributed more than 16.5 million cards across 178 countries—all centered around one idea: A promise matters. Our word matters. It's easy to say we're going to do something. Show up. Make the call. Help someone. Volunteer. Change a habit. Be a better spouse, parent, friend, leader or neighbor. The harder part is doing it. And maybe that's exactly why keeping our word can be so powerful. Our words tell people what we intend to do. Our actions tell them who we are. Alex has taken that simple idea and built something pretty incredible around it. Today, because I said I would is helping people build resiliency and better habits while supporting individuals and families facing some incredibly difficult circumstances. Alex, thank you for the conversation, the work you're doing, and the reminder. Say what you mean. Do what you say. Because you said you would. Be Curious. Be Confident. Be Competitive. Be Kind. #UnapologeticallyFraternal Much Love & Cheers. #BecauseISaidIWould #PromisesMatter #PeopleHelpingPeople #CommunityMatters #Leadership #MakeADifference
