| Dear Policyholder: | |||
Alonzo
Fowler Kempton, the founder of our company, would be
amazed if he could see how Wawanesa has matured since its
inception in 1896! The progress made over this past
century is a credit to our policyholders, staff and
brokers. All have journeyed with us from humble
beginnings in a picturesque prairie village to our
current position as a North American  insurance industry leader. Indeed, Alonzo
Fowler Kempton would take pride in the company's
continued dedication to his values of integrity and
fairness.Our real story is about people who have helped to build this enterprise into one of the largest and most trusted mutual companies on the continent. Our past is not typical of a large corporation. We believe that, if people are the focus, the bottom line looks after itself. Earning the trust of policyholders was the key to Kempton's vision and it is the foundation upon which Wawanesa's achievements have been built. As in the past, Wawanesa today strives to exceed your high expectations for quality, service and value. We will continue to develop innovative and efficient ways of responding to your needs. Using the most advanced tools of business and technology, we will face the inevitable challenges in our second century. I look forward to the future with confidence. My optimism is founded upon the solid trust Wawanesa has earned from each and every policyholder. I hope you will enjoy reading this history as much as I have. As a story of people, it is a tribute to our mutual journey over the years. Sincerely, Gregg J. Hanson |
