Before we opened our doors on September 1, 1985, our founder, Frank VanderSloot, established our Mission Statement. This was to make sure that our focus is always on helping people rather than the typical corporate purpose of making money. This Mission Statement was not written to hang on some walnut plaque in some corporate boardroom. It is the very fabric of why we exist, and is part of every decision we make and everything we do. Since our mission is to help people reach their goals, we have continually asked people what their goals in life are. We have traveled the globe to every nation where we have Members seeking the answer. What we have learned has been extremely enlightening!
