NAIFA has always been the voice of Main Street financial professionals. We protect our clients, advocate for our industry, and provide leadership that helps families and businesses thrive. But today, making that voice heard requires more than traditional advocacy—it requires presence, visibility, and engagement on social media.

We’re excited to share that NAIFA is getting ready to launch a new 6-part onboarding email series designed to welcome and engage new members. This upcoming national initiative will ensure that every member receives consistent, timely communication that highlights the value of their NAIFA membership and connects them to their Chapter from the start.

Once launched, new members will begin receiving the onboarding series on the Monday or Thursday immediately following their join date, depending on when they joined. This first message will kick off a sequence of emails delivered over the following weeks and months, providing consistent touchpoints to keep members engaged and connected as they settle into their NAIFA membership.
