2022
Dear Members, Brokers, and Friends,
I am pleased to report that the 2022 Signal Annual General Meeting was a successful event, with our largest turnout in the Mutual’s history! We were humbled by the level of engagement from our 400+ attendees and hope that everyone walked away refocused, informed on the current state of the Mutual, and armed with actionable information to bring back to their roles.
The addition of exclusive guest speakers (Best-selling author and former Navy Commander, Mike Abrashoff and former White House director of economic policy, Todd Buchholtz), as well as a Member panel (Crowley Maritime), will continue to be part of lineup for future AGMs. The response to these new elements was overwhelmingly positive, and we plan to offer the same level of quality content at our 2023 meeting, which will be set amid the unparalleled scenery of Kauai. We view the AGM as a unique and important benefit of Membership, and we hope that you will continue to participate, ask questions, and keep the feedback coming.
As follow up from the meeting, we have linked three documents below, which include the: (1) AGM Membership Report, (2) Supplementary Call and Open Estimates Notice, and (3) August 2022 Release Call Mechanism.
I look forward to seeing you during renewal season or at our next event.
Supplementary Call and Open Estimates Notice
2022 AGM Release Call Mechanism
Best regards,
Justin Gardner
President & Chief Executive Officer
