RE: Circle of Excellence Recognition Program

CC: Nancy D. Green, CPCU  Judy Brannon, CPCU

It is my pleasure to recognize the Iowa Chapter with the Gold level for the 2003- 2004 Circle of Excellence Recognition Program. Thank you for all your hard work on behalf of the CPCU Society. Congratulations!

The response to the Circle of Excellence Recognition Program has been great, 100 chapters completed submissions for the recognition program this year. I hope you found the program helpful this year in guiding your chapter in best practices to better serve your members. The CPCU Society appreciates your help in implementing our new strategic plan at the local level. I hope the Circle of Excellence Program will continue to provide direction for your chapter's activities and help your officers deliver value to your members next year.

In September your chapter will receive a Circle of Excellence circle in the mail. Please be sure to celebrate your chapter's success by displaying your Circle of Excellence Plaque at your next chapter meeting. In addition, your chapter will be recognized in Los Angeles, at the Annual Meeting and Seminars, during the Chapter Recognition Luncheon on Tuesday, October 26, 2004. Your chapter is invited to bring two representatives to the luncheon; watch the mail for your invitations. I hope to see you there!

If you have any questions regarding your submission, please call the Society's Chapter Services Manager, Ron Arthur, CPCU, at 800-932-2728, ext. 2779.

I am looking forward to recognizing you and your chapter members at our Annual Meeting, October 23-26, 2004, in Los Angeles, California.

Sincerely,

Hugh B. McGowan, CPCU

2003-2004 CPCU Society President
