NAIFA Congressional ConferenceNAIFA Congressional Conference Registration Opening Soon!
In the past six years, almost five thousand NAIFA members from every corner of the country came to Washington and visited Capitol Hill to meet with lawmakers and advise them on how their decisions affect agents, brokers, and their clients.

The next NAIFA Congressional Conference will be held May 14-15, 2019. Join NAIFA members from all 50 states as we cultivate relationships with lawmakers and educate them on the value that NAIFA members bring to their clients and the solutions they provide for 90 million American families.

NEW: Chapter Achievement Program

Bonus points will be awarded for those chapters who are going above and beyond in serving their members. Please join us for a webinar on February 1 to learn more about the program and how your chapter can be #1 in 2019!

The NAIFA 20/20 Member Experience

Earlier this month, we began a year-long program called the NAIFA 20/20 Member Experience which is a comprehensive, immersive program to let you experience various benefits.  The program includes bonus training from subject matter experts and a new member recognition program. We are running two tracks:

  • New Members (initial join is within the last 3 years)
  • Members (3 years+ of membership)

January featured an overview of NAIFA's new messaging of Advocate. Educate. Differentiate. The in-depth webinar walked through the year, what to expect and what new products & services are available to all members.

On-Demand Versions:

February 2019 

Our next set of webinars will take place in February featuring Jade Paczelt from RealWealth Marketing with an introduction to RealWealth, ClientCast, Power Session LIVE and the premiere service options.

PAST DUE: Chapter Leadership & Contact Report
Many chapters transitioned to new officers on January 1, so we asked for each state and local chapter to submit updated leadership rosters. We also asked which affiliate leaders should receive leadership communications in 2019! Even if you did not transition to new officers, every chapter MUST submit a 2019 Chapter Leadership & Contact Report. Click here to submit your report! Below are the state and local chapters we are missing reports from.

NAIFA Live
NAIFA Live
Tomorrow we will launch the first NAIFA Live program as part of NAIFA's efforts to transform the  monthly meeting! NAIFA, along with NAIFA-Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and North Dakota will sponsor the first event featuring multiple viewing locations where members gather in "watch party" style to view the livestreamed event. 

The new format aims to provide more choices for members in terms of access to programming beyond geographic boundaries and lift the requirement of having to physically be in the same room to meaningfully participate in NAIFA events. Additionally, the event will be open to non-members for an additional fee providing yet another way to prospect to recruit the next generation of NAIFA members.
