ATLANTA, GA (August 1, 2011) - For the first time since September 11, 2001, the iconic Transamerica Pyramid opened its penthouse to deliver a panoramic view of San Francisco. The occasion was the 2011 National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU) Conference, during which Transamerica Life & Protection’s Financial Solutions group (TL&P) hosted a special reception for conference attendees.
The penthouse area—which offers breath-taking, bird’s-eye views of picturesque San Francisco—has been closed to the public for security reasons since September 11, 2001. High-ranking officers from some of the largest credit unions in the country toasted the evening as they watched the beautiful sunset from the top of the Pyramid.
“Thank you to Transamerica Life & Protection for the invitation to see San Francisco from the top of their Pyramid! It was a thrill to see the views, chat with friends and network with a great team of professionals,” commented Greg Whalen, Director, Palisades Federal Credit Union, Pearl River, NY. Richard Wright, CEO of RTN Federal Credit Union, Waltham, MA, also commented, “Your gracious invite to include so many from my board was most kind and they truly enjoyed Transamerica’s hospitality and the ability to interact with your colleagues. Again, my thanks for a most memorable evening.”
Reception guests were educated on the history of the Pyramid and how TL&P is moving forward to build great things in both traditional and credit/debt protection businesses. According to Michael Steuer, President of Credit Union Insurance Resource (Transamerica Life & Protection’s independent agents from the Boston, MA area), “The breathtaking views accentuated the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be at the top of the Transamerica Pyramid. Everyone enjoyed the reception, which offered wine, food and great company. On behalf of myself and my clients, thanks Transamerica L&P. It was a first-class event all the way.”
