my customer service record.

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

worked with clients at a credit union.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

it gives so much back to the community, both through funds and volunteer hours. The culture is so different from previous organizations I’ve worked.

The best part of my career is…

when people tell me they could send their child to college or retire early because I helped them stay on the right path.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

a member thanked me over and over again and gave me a big hug!

On Saturday, our Modern Woodmen Region gifted $10,000 to Sleep In Heavenly Peace and volunteered for 3.5 hours to build 40 beds. Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building and delivering handmade beds to children in need. Their mission is that no child should have to sleep on the floor, providing beds, mattresses, bedding, and pillows to children and families who otherwise could not afford them. Here is their website https://shpbeds.org/ I challenge each of you to check out their website and consider getting your company or family and friends to volunteer. It's an amazing experience. Yet another reason I am blessed to work for an organization that gives not only money but also time to help enhance the communities our members live in. Message me to find out how to become a member.
