At the Polk Region of Modern Woodmen, our mission is to remain a top-tier holistic financial planning firm dedicated to providing needs-based solutions that empower our clients to achieve their dreams and safeguard their futures. Inspired by the care and thoroughness of a family physician’s office, we prioritize personalized service, meeting with clients annually to perform financial "checkups" and ensure their plans operate at peak efficiency.

We specialize in both investment and protection, offering expert guidance at every stage of life. Over the next five years, we are committed to growing our team from 32 to 50+ advisors while maintaining our client-first, needs-based philosophy. This growth will be accompanied by sustaining or increasing our advisors’ average income, currently $145,000 annually, including for first-year advisors. Our success is built on robust mentorship programs with senior advisors and tailored business development plans for each new team member.

We also require a strong commitment to professionalism, with advisors achieving Series 65/66 licensing within their first year.

Modern Woodmen is about people. Created for our members. Owned and operated by them too. Together, we’re here for each other, for our families and for the communities we love. We are a member-owned fraternal financial services organization.

Together with over 700,000 members, we’ve been touching lives and securing futures since 1883. Modern Woodmen's financial strength is anchored in a robust asset base of $17.14 billion. Guided by a prudent investment philosophy, the organization focuses on high-quality, diversified investments with high industry ratings from A.M. Best and KBRA.
