We look forward to seeing all NAIFA leaders at the Congressional Conference next week in Washington. (And for those unable to make it, we will miss you.) Your attendance at the Congressional Conference is a great opportunity to advocate for your business and clients and build your brand by letting people know about it.

NAIFA’s grassroots advocacy has taken on a renewed urgency with Congress determining what will and will not be in an upcoming multi-trillion-dollar tax bill. Small businesses – including those owned by NAIFA members and their clients – could be at risk. Members of Congress need to hear how proposals would impact NAIFA members’ businesses, clients, and communities. Register for the Congressional Conference.

The Congressional Conference is NAIFA's premier grassroots advocacy event and the most impactful advocacy fly-in in the insurance and financial services industry. This year, our emphasis is expanding our grassroots footprint by ramping up participation by first-time attendees. We are offering the first 100 eligible first-time registrants $500 travel vouchers to encourage their attendance. As a NAIFA leader, please help us make this event a success by 1.) registering and attending yourself, 2.) promoting the Congressional Conference at the Chapter level, and 3.) personally inviting a first-timer to join us in Washington.

The 2024 Congressional Conference is coming to Washington, D.C., May 20-21.

If your name is not on the list, register today to have it added. If you notice colleagues or members from your chapter who aren't yet registered, why don't you give them a friendly nudge? The more people we have in Washington advocating for our businesses, clients, and communities the more influential we are.
