The campaigns are done, the voting is over, and the results are becoming clear. Donald Trump will return to the White House as the 47^th President of the United States. Republicans will also control the Senate with at least 52 seats. Races determining which party controls the House of Representatives have yet to be decided (and may not be for some time).

We are proud of NAIFA alumni who fared well yesterday. Austin Scott (R-GA), Brad Schneider (D-IL), and Monica De La Cruz (R-TX) were re-elected to the House of Representatives. Montana Insurance & Securities Commissioner Troy Downing (R-MT) is a newly elected first-term Representative. Former NAIFA members in the Senate, Tim Scott (R-SC) and Mike Rounds (R-SD), were not on the ballot this cycle and continue to serve in the upper house. As past members of our association, all of these lawmakers understand our industry and the great work NAIFA members do. 

November is National Long-Term Care Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness about the need for long-term care (LTC) planning and the financial, emotional, and physical impacts associated with it. The campaign is aimed at educating the public about the importance of preparing for the potential need for long-term care services, which include assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating, often needed due to aging, chronic illness, or disability.

A message from NAIFA CEO Kevin Mayeux:

Dear NAIFA Leaders:

The final NAIFA 2030 Strategic Plan, as approved by the Board of Trustees in Phoenix, is now available here.

Thanks to many of you for submitting fantastic and forward-thinking input over the summer months. As you may know, the plan initially was drafted by a cross-section of NAIFA members, staff, and industry professionals who served on the strategic planning committee, then reviewed by a stakeholder review team, and enhanced by further feedback from you, as well as our past presidents, general membership, and our internal staff team.
