Below are the standings, as of Monday, April 15th for all 4 Divisions and their team competitions. There's still time to make an impact on your Chapter's ranking. This round wraps on Sunday, April 21st. Don't forget, that this round will include your chapter's monthly contributors. This will be a three-team game and two teams will advance to the next round.

Twenty-four chapters are battling to move on to the Terrific 12. Who will be knocked out at the end of the second round of IFAPAC Madness? The clock is ticking to secure contributions before the buzzer at the end of the day on Sunday, April 7th.  

Much like the NCAA March Madness Brackets, IFAPAC has created its bracketology based on 2023 fundraising totals. Chapters will go head-to-head during each round to see who raises the most during the allotted time. Chapters need to be increasing donations in each round. Totals do NOT carry over from each round, the results are not cumulative. The chapter with the highest total during the allotted round will move on to the next round.

Congratulations to the 24 teams advancing to the next round of IFAPAC Madness 2024! Starting today, chapters will be competing to advance to the Terrific Twelve. The winner will be announced on May 20, 2024, during Congressional Conference! The 2024 Champion Chapter will receive a trophy that can tour around the chapter all year.

Over the past few weeks, NAIFA has encouraged Congressional leadership to expand access to the US Capitol campus. Numerous reports confirm Congressional leadership is working on a bicameral reopening plan for the entire Capitol grounds.  With the 2022 Congressional Conference merely two months away, we are happy to hear that leadership is working on a phased reopening plan.  By reopening the Capitol, we will be able to get back to our in-person visits which allow us to discuss issues relating to the financial services industry and explain the impact that certain policies have on your clients and businesses.
