NAIFA Leadership Newsletter August 2018
August 2018 | Inaugural Issue of Monthly NAIFA Leaders

We’re pleased to launch the inaugural issue of NAIFA Leaders, a monthly e-newsletter designed exclusively for NAIFA chapter leaders and field staff.

We recognize you receive a number of emails from NAIFA each month, and our goal is to minimize that number with a monthly digest of NAIFA news that you can use to be the best leader you can be.

Your Opinion Needed on this Survey
Your Opinion:
Livestreaming Education

We need your feedback as we consider new ways to design modern member experiences.

With the modernization that comes with NAIFA 20/20, we will leverage the opportunities that livestreaming technology affords. We are investigating new ways to deliver real-time and on-demand education that knows no geographical boundaries to NAIFA members.

This month's survey focuses on the exciting potential to livestream educational sessions so members have access to NAIFA’s education offerings regardless of their location and the type of device they are using.

Take the "Livestreaming Education" survey now and help us serve members better.

NAIFA's Limited & Extended Care Planning Center
Launching Soon:
Limited & Extended Care Planning Center

NAIFA will soon roll out the Limited and Extended Care Planning Center (LEC Planning Center), designed to be the first clearinghouse of information about all aspects of long-term care. NAIFA, along with the Center's founding partners, is bringing together all the information, tools and resources a financial advisor would need to know about this important topic.

Once the Center is launched, NAIFA members will be able to access it as part of a beta test group through December 2018. NAIFA leaders will be the first to have access to the Center, following a "Welcome to the Limited and Extended Care Planning Center" product tour to be held at the end of September.

Interested in being part of the beta group? Sign up now and we'll pre-register you for the product tour and automatically put you in the beta group

Membership Initiatives

Each month, we will highlight initiatives to undertake together to help attract new members and recognize the outstanding work of all our members. 

Additionally, we recognize that we can't put everything we want to communicate in email. In addition to this newsletter, we are establishing monthly Leadership webinars where we will share what's new at NAIFA so you can hear it first.
