“It was very exciting to be in Cuba and engage with the Cuban people,” said Chief Operating Officer Jimmy Atkinson. “We toured several areas before ending in Havana, and the people couldn’t have been friendlier.

It was the most valuable gift to date, the most joyful interlude that we could have wished to make come true for them and their spouses. Moreover, our appreciation for our loyal and treasured agent partners is inestimable. Cuba was our humble attempt to express that,” said Luis Nieves, founder and CEO of AUL Corp.
