The International Blue Goose Today:
We are a fraternal organization of men and women who work in the Property/Casualty Insurance Industry.
- WE ARE
- home office executives, field claims reps, auditors, underwriters, general adjusters, agents, brokers, investigators, contractors, regulators, appraisers, salvors, attorneys, engineers, and a host of others.
- WE MEET
- socially and fraternally, and not as a part of any insurance company or industry group. Our mutual link is the career experience we have in our chosen field.
- OUR FORMAL NAME
- is the Honorable Order of The Blue Goose, International.
- GREATER CHICAGO POND is a local group, servicing the greater Chicagoland area.
- is the Honorable Order of The Blue Goose, International.
- WE ARE CALLED
GANDERS
- Our officers have titles such as Wielder of the Goose Quill, Guardian of the Pond, and Keeper of the Golden Goose Egg. We have a secret initiation ceremony.
- OUR CONVENTION
- is a family affair. Ganders bring their spouses and children. Activities are planned for Ganders, for non-Gander Spouses, and for the children.
- THERE IS
FELLOWSHIP
- We are a community of interest, experience, activity, and feeling. This community nature is something larger and yet more intimate than a business association or networking group. We are genuine friends.
- THERE IS
CHARITY
- The Ponds, each in its own way, provide needed support for a variety of charities. Some run specific fund raisers for specific charities. Some spread donations over several charities. We help those in need. The Greater Chicago Pond has given generously to a number of worthwhile charities over the years. For more details, visit our Donations page.
- THERE IS
LEADERSHIP
- When we give ourselves in the work of Blue Goose, and when we are elected to office in Blue Goose, we gain experience in new areas. Poise and confidence is gained in the administration of activities and in the management of others. We acquire leadership skills.
- WE WANT YOU TO VISIT WITH
