It has been and continues to be our mission to provide affordable, customized programs, combined with a focus on safety, to help our membership operate at the safest, most profitable level in the industry. The safety of the people that we cover, and the welfare of their families, is greater today than at any time in the history of our program. We consider that to be our greatest success.
More changes and growth are coming and we are excited about the future for the Fund.
