California’s #1 Field Agent & Agency
My Brothers,
On December 31, was the completion of the Order’s insurance year. Let us congratulate, Brother Mike Wilson from the Baca Agency, and Brother Ben Baca, for finishing number one in California for the 2018 calendar year.
Brother Mike, is a Past Chapter President, Former District Deputy, Past Faithful Navigator, and a Past Grand Knight, with a heart for membership growth. Brother Mike finished second in the Order, and the Baca Agency finished fifth in the Order for insurance sales. Four of the seven agencies in California finished on the front page of the top list of 24 agencies in the Order. This is out of 124 agencies that is representative of the United States and Canada.
What does this exactly mean my brothers, it means lives changed, with the security and benefits of financial protection for our Catholic families. We should all be extremely proud of all seven agencies, and how we are represented here in California. It will be my extreme honor, to be able to recognize all of the top Field Agents in California, at our state convention in May.
On behalf, of our State Council, I cannot thank our general agents, our field agents, and our professional staff enough, for all you do in protecting our families. You are truly, our everyday heroes, living out your faith in action and the mission of our founder, Venerable Father Michael McGivney.
Sincerely,
Joseph C.Salaiz
