RE: John Hildebrant's Retirement

John Hildebrandt submitted his resignation as President of the MWCIA to the Board of Directors to be effective January 2, 1998. The Board, at their 4th Quarter meeting, reluctantly and with great appreciation for his contribution, accepted John's request.

For thirty-three years John has been a part of the MWCIA and has served as President for the past twenty-one years providing dedicated service and leadership. John has made many significant contributions to the whole Minnesota Workers' Compensation system during his tenure with the MWCIA.

In honor of John's many accomplishments and distinguished service, the MWCIA will hold an Open House on Tuesday, January 13, 1998, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Association offices. You are cordially invited to come and be a part of the celebration.

Very truly yours,

BRUCE A. TOLLEFSON
President
