Chapter Leader Election Invitation

Lake-Geauga County Chapter

Please vote for next year's chapter leadership board(proposed ballot follows below). As a membership organization, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is unique to the financial services world in many ways. Our members choose who will represent them on the national board of directors governing the organization as well as choose their local chapter leadership board.

The election process is a very important way for Thrivent Financial for Lutherans to demonstrate two required elements of a fraternal benefit society:

1. An active, viable chapter system that involves many members
2. A representative form of government.

Without this election process, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans would not qualify as a tax-exempt fraternal benefit society and would not be able to provide the benefits to needy individuals, congregations and communities that it does today.

The 2012 elections will be held on Sunday, October 23, 2011 and Sunday, October 30, 2011 at each Lutheran church in Lake and Geauga County. Congregational Advocates or someone at the church will have ballots available for Thrivent members to cast their votes.

Please exercise your right to vote in your Lake-Geauga County Chapter's leadership board election.

National Board of Directors Election

You're a member with a voice. Let's hear it.

This year, we are again conducting the Thrivent Financial for Lutherans National Board of Directors election through the mail. If you are a benefit member (generally the insured or annuitant on an insurance or annuity contract issued by Thrivent Financial, or premerger AAL or LB), you are eligible to vote and will receive the mailing. The opportunity to elect your Board of Directors is a benefit of your membership in our fraternal benefit society. Watch your mail in October for election materials.

Get involved in your organization. Make your voice heard.
