Chairman’s Letter about MKP USA Insurance

WHY THE CHANGE AROUND INSURANCE AND WHAT NOW?

April 20, 2012

Men,

I want all of you to hear that this issue around the medical waiver and insurance came to a head quickly and we responded quickly. I have become very aware while speaking to many of you on the phone that more clarity is needed. We have created a Q&A that we hope will begin to provide this clarity. I am very sensitive to, and appreciative of, the great passion, skill, and dedication every man brings to this work.

It gave me no pleasure to make the final decision to move ahead on this issue now, knowing the kind of impact it was likely to produce. It is my belief, with significant information and recommendations from insurance and finance experts, that this is the path we must walk if we are to create the future we want for the men in our organization. We have done our institutional homework, and this is the path of integrity and accountability for MKP USA.

I am grateful to each of you for your good work, your suggestions, you dedication and your help. We are all, after all is said and done, in this together.

We have, together, experienced a number of challenges over the recent past and we have done the hard work to rise and meet each one. This is another challenge. We must move forward in a way that retains our soul and spirit while building an organization that is truly capable of initiating increasing numbers of men on the path of self awareness and personal growth.

Please call me if you believe I can support you in any way.

Blessings to each of us and blessings on our journey together.

Mike
