As the NAIFA Government Relations Team prepares for another dynamic legislative season, we want to hear from you! We are asking our state chapters to complete the annual NAIFA Government Relations State Issues Survey to help us grasp national trends, prepare impactful policy materials, and align advocacy efforts effectively – thus continuing to advocate for Main Street USA.

We look forward to seeing everyone who is attending the combined Apex and National Leadership Conference September 19-21 at the Arizona Biltmore. To see who has signed up, check the Who's Coming? page on the conference website. And if you're a last-minute planner, it's not too late to register and add your name to the list.

NAIFA is working with a graduate studies team at Georgetown University to undertake a study on our membership. The pro bono agreement will result in a paper and all contributors/participants will be thanked in the paper and presentation that will be given to NAIFA's National Membership Committee and provided to the Board of Trustees. If you're willing to give 5-7 minutes to complete this survey and/or want to be interviewed by the study leaders, your name will be included in the study to acknowledge your contribution. Thank you in advance for your time and commitment to improving NAIFA!
