Each year when the holiday season
rolls around, we consider the year that is coming to a close and try
to put it into perspective. The year 2005 has been an absolutely
amazing one from any and all perspectives for the Branch Office
division! It has presented us with challenges and rare opportunities.
It has been a year in which the indomitable spirit of the American
people has shone through at every opportunity. This year, in
particular, “United” Americans have proven that they have both a
toughness of character and a generosity of spirit that is without
equal. Time and again, we have not hesitated to share who we are and
what we have with those who needed it most. It’s the generous spirit
of America that we should all celebrate this holiday
season!
In addition to dealing with the
forces of nature, Americans have had to handle more traditional
economic concerns in 2005. Rising prices for fuel, food, and housing,
unemployment, and loss of insurance coverage have seriously impacted
thousands of Americans, and the commercial aspect of the holiday
season only seems to magnify those concerns.
Most of us associated with United American are
in a very enviable position. But we know not everyone is as fortunate
as we are. The events of 2005 brought home that message loud and
clear! Yet, we also realize that our profession can lessen the impact
of difficult times in challenged coverage for our customers. Many
Americans are faced with serious insurance cost and coverage
challenges. Fortunately, United American has the products, the
resources, and the talented Agents to reach out to customers in need
– both to individuals and to those at the workplace. We can offer
affordable solutions to make their lives a little bit easier. And, by
satisfying their needs, we satisfy our own needs.
For many years, United American has focused on
finding ways to bring affordable life and health coverage to the
American people. That focus will never change. Because of the
dedication and hard work of our Branch Managers, Unit Managers and
Agents, UA has made excellent progress toward achieving its goals in
2005. We have added many new products to our portfolios – products
which have improved the quality of life for our customers. We
appreciate the tremendous commitment you all have made to doing what
is right for our policyholders. Because of your efforts, bringing the
best to our customers and being the best for our customers is just the
way we do business...year in and year out. As long as we continue to
put policyholders first and to always give them our best, we will all
be blessed – not just at the holiday season but throughout the year.
We appreciate the trust and confidence you have
placed in United American. We won’t ever let you
down!
May your holidays be richly blessed and may 2006
be your best year ever!
