Back in the day, members used unique ways to express the need to prepare for the unexpected. Goggles (called "hoodwinks") were sometimes worn by a new member as part of an initiation ritual. Pins (push buttons) on the goggles changed the color seen through eyepieces from black to red, open and closed. This prop showed that things change throughout your life. #ThrowbackThursday

Our logo has evolved over the years. From a black and white emblem to the blue and green shield we know today. Our shield represents the protection we provide our members. And the clouds form an eagle's head, looking out for the communities we serve.

The life of a Modern Woodmen member means feeling secure in your future. Protecting your family. Finding community. And so much more! What's your favorite part about being a Modern Woodmen member?

Who is Modern Woodmen? Contrary to what our name suggests, we're not woodworkers, nor do we clear trees. But we do clear the way for bright financial futures. As a financial representative, I'm my member's guide through the forest. Together, we build a plan that meets their goals, combining life insurance, retirement plans and more. #PioneersForLife #ModernSince1883
