Message

hen I read this issue of Woman’s Life magazine, a theme clearly stood
out to me: children and families.
W I am a big believer that you are never too young to begin preparing for
a secure financial future (no surprise there), and Joy Collins’ article, “Protecting the
Whole Family’s Financial Security,” presents two potential ways to provide a foun-
dation for financial security for an entire family.
My wife and I purchased whole life insurance for all three of our children when
they were young to start them on their financial planning journey. In doing so, we
were able to guarantee their insurability and establish a fixed premium for each
of them that is locked in even as they grow into adulthood. Purchasing insurance
when they were young was affordable and ensured they would have some financial
security as they transition through different periods of their lives.
Of course, Woman’s Life is about more than just building financial security, it is
also about helping others and improving our communities. Each chapter highlight-
ed in this issue held an event that impacts children and families. From enlightening
school-aged children about Black history legends, to encouraging kids to learn the
importance of the spoken word, to supporting special-needs children and their sib-
lings, to providing financial assistance to men, women, and children with cancer,
the passion of our members to help others — in so many different ways — contin-
ues to inspire me.
Time, effort, and funding for children and families are crucial to the future of
Woman’s Life and our communities. These children may be the future leaders of
our chapters, and they will no doubt be leaders in their families and communities.
I commend our chapters for the important work they do in their communities.
Lastly, what an honor for Woman’s Life to be recognized as a community leader
by two different organizations! We are humbled to be recognized for our work, and
it pushes us to continue to live our mission. THANK YOU to our entire Home
Office team for their commitment to Woman’s Life and our members. While they
work tirelessly for our members and the community, they do not do it for recog-
nition. It makes it that much more gratifying to know that people recognize and
appreciate our efforts.

Sincerely,

Christopher Martin
National President
