In March our company sponsored one of their fundraising events called Life in Bloom. “Bloom” is their annual fundraising banquet that is held every spring. They have been honored to have wonderful keynote speakers: Max Lucado, J.C. Watts, Star Parker, Steve Arterburn, Joe White, Rebecca St. James, Michael W. Smith, Pam Tebow, Bob Goff, and Brad Stein. In 2018 they will be bringing in Christian recording artist Matthew West.
Bloom is an opportunity to look inside Pregnancy Resources of Abilene, learn how they serve our community and catch the vision for the years to come. We are honored to be able to sponsor such a great organization. To learn more about Pregnancy Resources of Abilene click the link to their website https://www.prabilene.com/
During the months of April and May, Parkway attended many conferences. Two of the main ones were the AFA 2017 Executive Summit in April and the AFA 2017 Spring Symposium in May. The AFA, or American Fraternal Alliance, unites nearly 63 not-for-profit fraternal benefit societies operating in 50 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Alliance member societies represent nearly 8 million individuals, making it one of America’s largest member-volunteer networks. Through advocacy, developing policy and providing opportunities for a broader understanding of fraternal benefit societies as financial providers and community service activists, the Alliance serves as a vital and valued resource.
We have developed great relationships with members of the AFA and look forward to continued success through those events. In our next post we will share a little more about some of the Board Education Master Classes that we speak at helping to provide valuable information to Board Members of the Fraternal Industry.
