One of the benefits of membership is free training to allow you to expand your circles of influence through participation in state and federal advocacy. Our Financial Security Advocate Academy provides the training you need to advocate on behalf of your businesses, clients, and communities. We are offering our expanded NAIFA-FSP membership a great opportunity to earn your FSA badge by attending a free Academy webinar on November 9th. 

Our Financial Security Academy covers the basics of grassroots advocacy to more advanced concepts such as running for office. Those who complete the course have the training, knowledge, and skills to fully participate in the political process, exert their grassroots influence, and amplify our advocacy message. 

The course is completely free and this allows you to fast-track completion by taking the course live in a group environment (you can also earn this by taking the course on-demand at your own pace). Once you complete the course, you will be issued your Financial Security Advocate badge which you can display on LinkedIn, your website, other social platforms, and your business card as you see fit. Your badge will also be featured in NAIFA's Find an Advisor next to your profile. FSP members will be added to this consumer-facing directory in early 2024. 

Earning your Financial Security Advocate badge will prepare you for going to your state legislative days in Q1 2024 and Capitol Hill in May if you choose to join us! You will receive your lapel pin for your Financial Security Advocate badge when you come to one of our legislative events.
