P.E.O. Record

Executive Office Celebrates 50 Years

At 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 29, 1960, P.E.O.s celebrated the laying of the cornerstone for the P.E.O. Executive Office building at 3700 Grand Avenue in Des Moines, Iowa.

In honor of this milestone, a commemorative DVD has been produced that takes viewers on a virtual tour of the P.E.O. Executive Office, the headquarters of P.E.O. International.

P.E.O.s and their families are always welcome to stop by the Executive Office for a tour of the building—including offices where the philanthropies are administered, the emblem department, the office of The P.E.O. Record, the supply department, the library, the board room, the Centennial Center, the office of the president, the P.E.O. chapel, the P.E.O. Heritage Museum and more.

The general decorating theme for the P.E.O. Executive Office is that of Colonial Williamsburg, with colors carefully chosen. Many art objects and furnishings donated or even created by P.E.O.s are found throughout the building.

The Executive Office is YOUR building, P.E.O.s! If you can’t get to Des Moines to see it in person, this DVD is the next best thing. If you have been to the Executive Office, the video will make a lovely reminder of your visit and playing the disc at a chapter meeting would make a great program!
