“If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else” - Booker T. Washington Share your gifts. This picture is from the day that our Community Relations Director & Fraternal Coordinator, Michelle Badolato, spent time at Morning Pointe Assisted Living in the memory care unit leading a cupcake decorating class. 🧁✨ The smiles, laughter, and creativity around the table reminded us that lifting others up doesn’t always take something big—it can be as simple as sharing your time, joy, and a little frosting. 💙 Be curious. Be confident. Be competitive. Be kind. #unapologeticallyfraternal Well done, Michelle. And a tip of the hat to Heather Todd for facilitating such a fun event! Much Love & Cheers. #ModernWoodmenofAmerica #MotivationMindset #InspiredToLead #MindsetMatters #KeepGrowing #PushYourPotential #MakeAnImpact #GrowthCulture #DrivenByPurpose #BeKind

Post 6 of 6 Be Curious. Be Confident. Be Competitive. Be Kind. These aren’t just values we talk about. You know, the abstract concepts that every company is expected to list off along with canned mission and vision statements. These are our way of life in the office and out in the community — and they consistently show up in our work, our growth, and our results. They are a source of pride for my team and our members - our clients who choose to do business with us - of our organization. “Be Curious. Be Confident. Be Competitive. Be Kind.” Eight words. One standard. Unapologetically Fraternal. We choose to be curious, be confident, be competitive and be kind because it is what makes us unapologetically fraternal in nature. As financial services professionals, this is what makes us different in every way.

Post 5 of 6 Be Kind. Kindness isn’t weakness. It’s discipline. And it’s at the core of our being. Kindness is how we lead, how we support, and how we grow. It’s not about being liked. It’s about being principled. It’s about character over comparison… Transforming invasiveness into curiosity, arrogance into confidence, and combative into competitive. We choose to be kind because in our organization, we live by a creed that states: There is a destiny that makes us brothers; None goes his way alone; All that we send into the lives of others; Comes back into our own. Be Kind.

Post 4 of 6 Be Competitive. Look, we’re a results-oriented business. We compete. And it’s healthy. Inside this team, we lift each other up. We share best practices, push each other to be better, and never let ego get in the way of growth. It is the driving force that binds us… bringing us together in moments of celebration and need, alike. Because of this, we are fiercely loyal. It is in this way our members, everyone we work and interact with, get the best from all of us. Outside this team? We’re going to challenge the status quo when it comes to this industry. We show up with teeth. We are here to make great incomes and be a resource for financial security and accumulating wealth. However, we are also here to have an even bigger impact in our communities; utilizing our resources (personally and professionally) for the betterment of others; forever making it a better place because our team was here. We’re a not-for-profit — and we play to win. Be Competitive.
