The 2024 Membership Survey will close this Friday, June 14th at midnight eastern.  Who will be the lucky winner of the $500 gift card? If you haven't yet taken the survey, it takes 10 minutes to complete, but provides so much information that we can use in promoting our association. 

If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that we all get too many emails. It can be difficult to keep track of events, offers, benefits, and many other details when they are spread throughout multiple emails cluttering your inbox. 

If you're looking for something that may help, we have an example from NAIFA-Florida on how they're delivering their message to their members in a streamlined, effective way.

Register now and encourage your NAIFA colleagues to do the same to guarantee you get the best rate on NAIFA's Apex event and National Leadership Conference, September 19-21 at the Arizona Biltmore. Your registration includes the Apex conference, National Leadership Conference, and Belong awards celebration.

The early registration rate of $800 ($150 off the regular rate) is guaranteed through June 17.

In the ever-evolving landscape of retirement planning, Social Security remains a critical source of income for most Americans. The annual release of the Trust Fund Report, issued in May, sparked widespread media coverage and client concern. Questions such as "Will Social Security still be there?" and "Is it going broke?" continue to circulate. Join us for a webinar on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm Eastern, sponsored by Security Mutual Life which can help you deal with the concerns that clients may have. 

NAIFA-Illinois was recently spotted recognizing a new member, Bryan Zic, on LinkedIn!
