The Knights of Columbus excelled again in 2009 completing another consecutive year of growth.  Knights of Columbus products have not lost one single penny in these turbulent times!            

Knights of Columbus insurance has been “Making a Difference for Life” for more than 127 years. Since our founding in 1882, our primary mission has been to protect families against the financial ruin caused by the death of the breadwinner. Today we do this, and help families secure their financial futures, through our top-rated portfolio of life insurance, long term care insurance and annuity products.  Because we are a fraternal benefit society, we have no stockholders.  Our owners are our members.  We return our good fortune to our members in the form of dividends to our policyholders.  Prudent management has led to the rapid growth of our assets, providing adequate backing for our member's protection, and securing our obligation to our insureds and their beneficiaries.  From its humble beginnings, our insurance program has grown into a formidable institution, providing billions of dollars in future death benefits to our members and families.

Since joining the Knights of Columbus in 1982, Field Agent Dan Kurek has become a very accomplished agent.  His wealth of experience and knowledge allows him to offer valuable and proven advice in planning sound financial futures for Knights of Columbus families. Born and raised in a family owned business in Wisconsin, Dan knows first-hand the difficult decisions that working families face when attempting to navigate today's turbulent financial times.  Since the onset of his career, he has always committed to excellence in customer service. His accomplishments are many.  He's attained the designations of Fraternal Insurance Counselor (FIC) and Fraternal Insurance Counselor Fellow (FICF).  He is a perpetual leader in his Council, his community and the Knights of Columbus agency force. Through the first quarter of 2008, he ranked sixth within the Knights of Columbus Agency Department in new applications on members. Dan was awarded the "Outstanding Service Award" in 2008 from the Bayonne New Jersey Star of the Sea Council. The award marked the first time ever that the Council had bestowed such an honor upon its field agent. Dan was awarded his Agency's 2009 "Agent Of The Year Award" for total business issued. As of March 1, 2009 he ranked in the top ten percent of all Knights of Columbus field agents in total business written. His efforts in the Leonia, New Jersey Carmel Council #8982 helped them to achieve Star Council recognition for 2008-2009.  However, his greatest accomplishments are his wife of twenty years, Kimberly, and their two beautiful children, Billie Jean and Nicholas.
