Testimonials
Financial representative
“Modern Woodmen has afforded me the opportunity to be a contributor to my community and have an impact on my clients while preparing me and my husband for a retirement we never dared dream of. The work has been anything but easy, yet it’s been the biggest professional blessing of my life.”
- Barbara Coats, Starkville
Managing partner
“When I spoke with Regional Director Jonathan Marsh, I told him I needed to accomplish three things if I work with Modern Woodmen: provide an income for my family, spend more time with family, and make an impact in my community. Modern Woodmen has allowed me to do all three! I’m able to help my members do the same by protecting and growing their assets!”
- Ron Bradley, Tupelo
Financial representative
“I love helping people, and Modern Woodmen is an organization that allows me to do that by working with families and individuals on their financial planning, and by giving back to them and the community through fraternalism! It brings me joy to see what a positive impact I can have by doing something I love to do anyway!”
- Martha Ann Welch, Starkville
