The Story Behind the Contest

In the early fall of 1966, Security National was celebrating its first full year in business. During that year, George Quist had added several new and hungry agents to his company, many of whom had left jobs in other industries that did not require them to “dress up” for work.

After noticing that some of these agents wore the same suit multiple times a week, George decided to have a sales contest where these new agents could earn clothing suitable for working in the insurance business. He devised a program that challenged these agents to help families and to reward agents based on their performance; thus, Founder’s Month was born. We’ve moved away from awarding suits, but Security National’s appreciation for its agents remains the same!

Our Founder, George Quist
