We are #NAIFAproud of the work that NAIFA-Washington President, Chris Bor, LUTCF, CLU, ChFC has done to move the membership needle in 2021.

Chris has set goals for his team and they have worked their tails off to met them. He states, "We just put membership first, it's the first thing on the agenda at every meeting. Membership comes first, everything else is secondary."  This commitment to membership growth has earned him the 2021 Q1 Membership Hard Hat Award.
