About The Primacy Society

The Primacy Society celebrates the individual as the motive force in society. The Society serves people seeking to be their best by providing resources, contacts, and information to further that quest. Society activities include events, discovery trips, and readings intended to develop skills and raise questions.

The Society Motto

Since it's founding, the Society's motto has been Praesto et Persto, which can be  translated from Latin as "I stand in front and I stand fast." This is the attitude of the valiant leader, willing to expose himself or herself to attack and never retreat. This sentiment is the sense of primacy on which the Primacy Society was founded.

The Main Image

Few images of the last century are more striking to Society members than that of the anonymous "tank man" of Tiananmen Square. In the same square where Mao Zedong proclaimed the success of the Chinese Revolution in 1949 with the words, "Today the Chinese people stood up," one lone individual stood in opposition to that regime forty years later, facing down a menacing tank column and halting them through the force of his will and the power of his cause.

His stance, as seen in this image from June 5th 1989, is a living example of the Society's  motto. To learn more about the events surrounding this image, read Pico Iyer's, "The Unknown Rebel," in the Time Magazine issue, "The 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century."

The Web Site

Members indicated interest in permanent email and FTP services independent of changing business and professional associations. The Society developed this web site and the associated service infrastructure to meet that request. At the same time, the self-publishing aspects of the web have been employed to share the readings and web links that have proven useful to members with non-member visitors who visit the site.

Our domain name registrar was eNom.com whose service is quick and economical. The site is hosted by Internet Labs of Nevada, Inc. in a reliable and scalable server environment. Site visual design is the work of ThemeWeaver, Inc. We encourage patronage of these fine vendors.
