Once again this year NAIFA's Advisor Today magazine will recognize four outstanding members with the 4 Under 40 Awards. Applications are now being accepted for the awards, which honor agents and advisors who achieve excellence in their profession by or before the age of 40.

NAIFA members, mark your calendars! The Q3 State of NAIFA webinar is scheduled for July 11th at 12 pm eastern. This third update of the year is an integral part of our commitment to keep you informed about our progress and the direction we're heading.

NAIFA is the one and only association that was founded in 1890. NAIFA is the one and only association that is advocating for Main Street USA Consumers. NAIFA is the one and only association representing the entire insurance and financial services industry.

As a loyal NAIFA member, you know your membership fees go to fund state, interstate, and federal advocacy and that your practice is protected by professional lobbyists and members trained in grassroots advocacy. But what about all of the insurance and financial advisors who are NOT members? That's where we need you! Help NAIFA Nation have a louder voice this summer as we meet with our lawmakers during August In-District meetings by recruiting new members.

As NAIFA leaders, please encourage members in your chapter to contribute to IFAPAC. Contributions help to amplify NAIFA's national and chapter-level advocacy voice in Washington, D.C., and every state capital. 

NAIFA's West Virginia chapter was formed 75 years ago and celebrated at the occasion at the SFSP/NAIFA WV 2023 Legislative Update in Charleston. NAIFA's National President Bryon Holz and CEO Kevin Mayeux marked the milestone by sending NAIFA-WV a proclamation on behalf of the association. The proclamation urges "all of the citizens of NAIFA Nation to commend and celebrate NAIFA-West Virginia on the occasion of its 75th anniversary."

Kudos to the 13 NAIFA state chapters that have met their IFAPAC contributor goals and the two that have met their contribution goals. We send a special shout-out to NAIFA-Iowa, which has met both goals. We urge all NAIFA leaders to promote the PAC leading up to IFAPAC's 57th birthday, August 18. The summer is a great time for NAIFA members to contribute to IFAPAC.

During Congressional Conference, NAIFA launched a new member recognition program called Triangle Team to recognize our members that are engaged in membership, grassroots, and IFAPAC. Triangle Team members are utilizing their NAIFA membership to keep Main Street USA strong!
