STEPS has been in existence since 1988 and is still going strong. But like all membership organizations, needs the support of it’s membership for survival. As a voluntary fraternal organization that is totally dependent upon the contributions of its members to carry out its goal of helping those who are in need of some extra financial assistance from time to time, it is important to manage the funds that do come in very closely. Therefore NONE of those funds are used for the purpose of advertising STEPS to those who might benefit by being a member of STEPS. STEPS depends solely on the word of mouth advertising that comes from those who have benefited by being a member.
One of the ways that members can help to promote STEPS is by offering their personal testimonials from their experiences with STEPS. If you have had the unfortunate experience of being disabled and not able to work and used the STEPS plan to help you make it till you were able to get back to work, please feel free to add your testimonial in the comments section below. These comments may be used on the site for promotional purposes.
Thank you
Having worked closely with Charles Boddie over the last year or so I am convinced that Charles will be a very capable administrator for the STEPS program. Charles has always been a very strong advocate of the program and has shown his support in many ways, but mostly by his efforts in recruiting new members.
