National Committee Chair Report

The last two plus years have forced many of us to make changes to how we approach our daily lives.  Some changes have been easier than others.  However, one constant theme is the need to maintain and build relationships. The core of our profession is built on trust, ethics and delivering a promise. 

Our professional association, NAIFA, NAIFA-Florida, and NAIFA-Broward, helps us connect virtually, and in-person to learn, advocate and connect. 

Later this month we will have an opportunity to meet:

  • In-person locally for a case study presentation
  • in Washington, DC for the Congressional Conference to sharpen our saw, advocate and connect.
  • In July, to be motivated, grow and connect in Orlando for the NAIFA-Florida Sales Symposium.

These in-person connections are complimented by the opportunity to meet virtually and the on-demand offerings on www.naifa.org.  I suggest you consider taking a fresh look at how NAIFA can enhance your professional and development and grow your practice. 

Political Season Heating Up

The Mid-Terms are approaching and the need to connect to legislative candidates intensifies.I encourage you to visit https://advocacy.naifa.org/2021-naifa-congressional-conference-on-demand-archives to learn more about our advocacy efforts.

The greater our numbers, the louder and more influential our voice!
