AUL Corp celebrates 16th Presidents Club Event in Cuba
NAPA, Calif. - "It was very exciting to be in Cuba and engage with the Cuban people," said Chief Operating Officer Jimmy Atkinson. "We toured several areas before ending in Havana, and the people couldn't have been friendlier. In many ways, it was like stepping back in time. It was an honor to be able to host our Presidents Club agents and share the experience with them."
"Going to Cuba was a determined dream come true for all of our Presidents Club members. It was the most valuable gift to date, the most joyful interlude that we could have wished to make come true for them and their spouses. Moreover, our appreciation for our loyal and treasured agent partners is inestimable. Cuba was our humble attempt to express that," said Luis Nieves, founder and CEO of AUL Corp.
