We are pleased to announce that Richard Coffin is the 2023 Q2 Membership Hard Hat recipient. Thanks to his ongoing recruitment efforts across California and beyond. Rich has been a loyal NAIFA member since 2006, is a Partner at CaptialSmith Financial and Insurance Services, and currently serves as Vice President of Membership on the NAIFA-California board. Like many others, he first joined NAIFA because his mentor told him he needed to belong. Fast-forward 17 years and today, the one word he would use to describe NAIFA is family. 

Rich is an active volunteer whose engagement at an industry event resulted in 10 new members. He states, "I'm a NAIFA member today...[because] I'm in the position of my career to give back to this wonderful industry and advocate for my fellow agents/advisors and my community of clients."  Earlier this year, Rich was on the podcast, Insurance After Dark and explained the listeners the importance of being a NAIFA member. "Our industry is constantly under attack and we need to be part of the only association that advocates on behalf of the agents/advisors and their clients." Rich, thank you for your dedication to amplifying NAIFA's message. We are #NAIFAproud to call you one of our own!
