Leaders Blog

We have started to see some movement in the chapters with our Summer Membership Challenge! Our first results will officially be posted on Monday, but you can also catch up each week in the Leaders Blog! Help your State chapter win cash prizes to be put back into your programs and membership development.  We are a word-of-mouth society and your referrals are our future members, so let's get out the invites to those financial service professionals (attorneys, agents, advisors, loan officers, financial coaches, and accountants) that you know who are good candidates for NAIFA membership. Make sure they use your name and you will be rewarded! 

Big shout out to NAIFA-Illinois Executive Director, Sara Decatoire, CAE, IOM for leveraging an opportunity in her state this month! NAIFA Coach, Walter Bond will come to select cities this summer to offer his Shark Mindset Sales System to financial service professionals. When Sara heard that Walter was offering two workshops in the Chicago area, she decided to take it a step further and filed for CEs in Illinois, adding extra value to the attendees. Workshop sessions are open to members and nonmembers. There will be a table set up with information about joining NAIFA available. Sara, along with other NAIFA members will attend the events to answer any questions and sign up new members to NAIFA. We are #NAIFAproud that Sara took the initiative to make this into a real win-win! 

Earlier today the state presidents, president-elects, membership chairs, and executives received the details about our Summer Membership Challenge! State chapters will compete to win cash prizes to be put back into your programs and membership development.  We are a word-of-mouth society and your referrals are our future members, so let's get out the invites to those financial service professionals (attorneys, agents, advisors, loan officers, financial coaches, and accountants) that you know who are good candidates for NAIFA membership. Make sure they use your name and you will be rewarded!

By popular demand of our members, NAIFA is launching a book club to keep our members actively engaged through the summer and the remainder of 2024! This initiative is powered by our loyal members who will host each session. Our first session will be Friday, June 28th at 12 pm eastern. The June book will be Building a Storybrand by Donald Miller and hosted by John D. Richardson.

If there's one positive that came out of the pandemic, it's that we have the technology that allows us to experience special events together. While virtual is never as good as face-to-face, we also have learned through the pandemic that every moment together is precious and we want to mark time to acknowledge this powerful purpose that we all are involved in called NAIFA.

On June 18th at 6 pm eastern, you are invited to join all of NAIFA Nation for a Virtual Happy Hour to honor the founding of our incredible association 134 years ago. Take a look back with us on NAIFA through the years, enjoy some camaraderie with your fellow members, hear about some exciting things in store throughout the summer and the rest of 2024, and toast to the next 134 years!

We are thankful for our loyal members! NAIFA recognizes our members who are celebrating an NAIFA milestone anniversary this month. Congratulations on your choice to belong to the community that cares. We are moving the needle on #financialliteracy and increasing #financialsecurity in #MainStreetUSA because of your commitment. We are honored that you belong to us and today, we honor you.

Keep Growing this Summer

We were thrilled to have so many of our volunteer leaders participating in the 2024 Congressional Conference in Washington, D.C. These leaders were recognized on the big digital board, on the main stage screens, and in the event signage.
