Woodmen Financial Services, was founded on July 1, 2001, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society and/or Omaha Woodmen Life Insurance Society (Woodmen).

Through surveys, Woodmen of the World identified a growing need for more financial choices and understood the importance of a balanced portfolio that included both insurance and investment products in meeting their members' financial goals. This need, coupled with Woodmen of the World's strong loyalty to its members, was the driving force behind the Society's entry into the investment world through Woodmen Financial Services.

In creating Woodmen Financial Services, the Board of Directors selected Joseph F. Wreschnig as Vice President and COO. Woodmen Financial Services began offering mutual funds on July 1, 2002.

Today, we not only offer mutual funds, but also 529 College Savings Plans and the Woodmen Variable Annuity.
