Certificates of Insurance for Local Chapters, Groups and Reciprocities
Local P.E.O. chapters, P.E.O. groups and reciprocities often hold meetings, fund-raisers and other events at facilities such as schools or churches. P.E.O. carries insurance that covers P.E.O. for such events. If the facility requests a certificate of insurance, the executive office in Des Moines will send that to the facility and a copy to the chapter. However… International Chapter will NOT add facilities as "additional insureds." Be sure to check early in your planning with your facility to be sure that they will not be requiring this additional coverage.

P.E.O.s Living Outside the U.S. and Canada
Names and addresses of P.E.O.s serving as overseas contacts in countries around the world are updated on the website under CARE issue, Reciprocity listing. Members living abroad are encouraged to strengthen their P.E.O. ties by communicating with the contact in their area who will put them in touch with P.E.O.s in their vicinity.
Members willing to serve as contacts should write the recording secretary of International Chapter (address on the inside front cover) by June 1. P.E.O.s who agree to serve the Sisterhood by welcoming other P.E.O.s to their respective areas are not to be asked to serve the business interests of individual P.E.O.s.
Rx:TLC Listing
The Rx:TLC listing which appears on the website under CARE issue lists chapters willing to help P.E.O. members or their families who are hospitalized or in need of assistance when away from home.
To be included or change a listing for either the regular or college section, please send information to The P.E.O. Record at mknee@peodsm.org. To help our sisters needing assistance, please list two contacts when possible. The listing will run until we are advised to change or delete it.
