Call to Purpose

Together we can make 2019 P+P the best yet! We are actively recruiting for volunteers and would love as many attendees as possible to meet our packed exhibit hall! 

Volunteers not only get a very cool NAIFA hat, but also get to be on the judging panel to decide who has the best "Why I'm Going to P+P 2019" video. Social media banners will be posted on the Leadership page, but there's some cash prizes in the mix!

Gold: $200 | Silver: $100 | Bronze: $50

Level Up Program
Tomorrow is Our First Level Up Workshop!

We kick off our Level Up Workshop series in Dallas tomorrow. A huge thank you to the volunteer leadership of NAIFA-Dallas, especially Karl Drescher, Shawn Talbot & Beth Helberg from NAIFA-Texas and Karen True of NAIFA-Dallas for collaborating on this event to ensure its success. 

We have about a 50/50 split of in-person to virtual attendees and learned along the way how many agencies want to attend our events as a group. With our new YourMembership CRM system, we were able to easily add new types of registration options throughout the registration period to adjust to market demands as we test out what works for this type of event series. 

Next Stop: Charlotte, NC | October 15th 1-4 pm eastern

Another big shout out to Janice Stevens of NAIFA-North Carolina for reaching out to home office during Congressional Conference to see if we could align the state chapter annual meeting with this next installment of Level Up. Unfortunately, the dates didn't align, but Janice's proactive & positive approach to a unified NAIFA was so appreciated. We hope you'll come to P+P so that you can hear about the new award program we're instituting to support the One NAIFA Nation initiative! (pssstt...it might just involve Janice).
