Amy Hester joins Chamber

The Franklin County Chamber of Commerce welcomes its newest member, Amy Hester, Modern Woodmen of America. Hester, a Modern Woodman representative of the fraternal benefit society in Russellville, serves members, their families and residents in and around the northwest Alabama area. A unique combination of business and voluntarism, the organization offers life insurance and annuities for family financial security as well as service programs and benefits for families and their communities. Founded in 1883, the organization was named in honor of pioneering woodmen who cleared forests to build homes and communities and provide security for their families. Modern Woodmen of American was created to clear away family financial difficulties. While its founding mission has remained, Modern Woodmen’s products and services have changed to meet the changing needs of today’s families. For more information about Modern Woodmen life insurance, annuities, retirement plans and member benefits, contact Hester at 256-460-9095.
