The Congressional Conference is NAIFA members' best opportunity to experience the power of grassroots advocacy first-hand in our nation's capital. Attendees really do make a difference on behalf of their businesses, clients, and communities. Networking allows them to be inspired and share ideas with politically involved colleagues. Training, policy briefings, and expert speakers give them the knowledge and guidance they need to be effective advocates. Meetings with lawmakers allow NAIFA members to speak with a unified voice and forge meaningful relationships with people whose decisions impact the financial security of every American.

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. The chapter with the highest total will move on to the next round.

The merger of NAIFA and the Society of Financial Service Professionals (FSP) presents our association new ways to serve our members more efficiently and – most importantly – more effectively. We are working diligently to integrate our memberships and ensure that all members continue to receive benefits that they value. Part of that process is determining how local chapters around the country help NAIFA best serve those members and achieve its strategic goals.

As NAIFA leaders, you have the experience and influence to make a difference  when you encourage newer members' involvement with our association. No where is this more true than on the grassroot advocacy front. As a NAIFA veteran, you can increase the involvement of newer members by inviting them to participate in your state's legislative day and the national Congressional Conference, coming to Washington, D.C., May 20-21. 

Due to popular demand, we have decided to host a quarterly Member Benefits Webinar. This ensures that you can stay up-to-date about the latest and greatest benefits that come along with being a NAIFA member. We are constantly adding new offerings to our marketplace. Whether it is new technology tools, ways to market yourself/your practice, educational resources, or simply saving money on your next UPS shipment...we've got you covered.
