Congressional Conference is NAIFA's Signature Advocacy event. That's why so many people who have attended in the past keep coming back. If you have never been to this event before, make plans to join your fellow members this year to discover why so many people love Congressional Conference.

We know our leaders love NAIFA, so what better way to show your love than to talk to non-members about NAIFA's membership promise to Advocate, Educate, and Differentiate? We've updated the Membership Promise presentation and it is now available for you to download.

February 1st kicked off our 3^rd annual I Love NAIFA Month. This is our time to shine and brag about our members and all of the great work they are doing to ensure that Americans are financially secure. This month-long campaign showcases everything there is to love about our association and supports our 2023 goal to grow our membership. Here are some easy ways for you and your chapter to participate and show your love of NAIFA.

Did you know? NAIFA has press release templates you can customize to send to your local news media outlet. As an example, see the great work by NAIFA-IL placing a press release announcing new chapter President Dennis M. Dean, CLU, LUTCF, in Chicago's Daily Herald last week. We encourage all NAIFA chapters to use these templates to announce new chapter leadership, award winners, your legislative day, and more. 

Join Advisor Today for its next webinar on Wednesday, February 8 at 12 pm eastern.
