After all the annual reports were filed, he modified the requirement to 92%. Eighteen state societies met this revised standard: Alabama, Alaska, Canada, Connecticut, Dakotas, District of Columbia, Germany, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Switzerland and Wyoming. While presenting streamers, PG Dooley shared a few facts about these 18 honored state societies. n Seven of these state societies have memberships less than 100. He encouraged these state societies to grow. n Ten of these 18 societies had a higher retainage percentage in 2014 compared with 2013. n In particular, PG Dooley mentioned the ALSSAR and PASSAR. These state societies have memberships in excess of 1,000 compatriots. In fact, both the ALSSAR and PASSAR are among the top 10 largest state societies. PASSAR has more than 1,700 members. n Last year, Alabama's retainage percentage was nearly 89%, which is higher than most. But this year, Alabama's retainage percentage is over 92%. n For Pennsylvania, their retainage percentage last year was just over 95%, which PG Dooley noted was incredible. But this year, the PASSAR retained almost 96% of their members. PG Dooley thanks Aaron Adams for his work on this PG Initiative.
