Every four years, Modern Woodmen members across the country elect delegates to gather for a National Convention. This representative form of government is part of what makes us unique as a fraternal financial services organization.

Our 45th National Convention will take place this month in Orlando, Florida.

Ever wonder what our logo really means?

The shield represents the protection we provide our members. Look closer and you’ll see the clouds form an eagle’s head watching over the communities we serve.

Did you know Modern Woodmen members had their own version of Memorial Day?

In the late 1800s, Modern Woodmen camps (now chapters) set aside a special day – typically the first Sunday in June – to honor members who had passed away. This tradition is believed to have begun in 1890 in Dubuque, Iowa, before spreading to camps across the country. Many chapters continue this tradition today.

These remembrance days were intentionally held on a different date so members could also fully observe the national Memorial Day – a time dedicated to honoring and remembering the servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
