Company Encourages Association Membership

***John Adiletti, Vice President Marketing, visited the Association board meeting in San Francisco last December and announced steps the Company is taking to encourage newly-appointed agents to become members of the Association.

***Starting in 2000 and continuing in 2001, CSE will pay the Association dues for the first year ($40) for all newly-appointed agents. In addition, every new agent who joins the Association and meets the minimum production requirement ($50,000 in premiums) will also get a commercial appointment.

***The moves were hailed as a further indication of the value the Company places on the Association by membership chairman Mitch Guzik.
