| Realizing the need of a State organization, various insurance women in Dallas extended an invitation to the organized Insurance Women's Clubs in Texas to meet with them for the purpose of organizing the Federation of Insurance Women of Texas.
On June 2, 1944, 275 insurance women from twenty cities in three states heard Ms. Ruth A. Fredde, Founder, present the plan for the organization of the Federation. Delegates from the organized clubs of Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio unanimously voted to form the Federation of Insurance Women of Texas, adopting the constitution and by-laws and electing officers.
Presented below are the principles upon which the Federation of Insurance Women of Texas was organized as given in the pledge of office at the installation of its first officers in Dallas, June, 1944.
FIRST, to build and maintain greater efficiency through study and practice.
SECOND, to establish acquaintance with women having mutual interests through social and business meetings.
THIRD, to collectively participate in a worthwhile manner to the civic betterment of your community.
FINALLY, through unselfish service, seek to elevate the standards of the insurance profession.
With these ideals firmly in our minds and consciousness, there lies ahead the bright certainty that this organization will continue to play an increasingly important part in the lives and careers of its members as well as exerting a profound and beneficial influence on the business and profession in which we work.
The above standards, set all those years ago, still stand true today. While our association has grown and flourished, our main objective is still, and will remain, EDUCATION for our members.
Our membership is open to both women and men, independent agencies as well as direct writers, standard insurance companies and E & S companies, adjusting firms, and all those companies that support the insurance industry.
