On January 10, join 2023 NAIFA-National President Bryon Holz, NAIFA CEO Kevin Mayeux, and NAIFA SVP of Government Relations Diane Boyle for the first State of NAIFA webinar of the new year.

NAIFA’s 2022 National Leadership Conference brings our association’s leaders and aspiring leaders together face-to-face. It ensures we are all on the same page working together as One NAIFA to execute on NAIFA’s overarching strategic plan at every level. It creates momentum for 2023 as we move in lock step to grow membership, amplify NAIFA’s brand, and build a stronger membership experience. NLC and the associated Belong awards gala inspire and recognize servant leaders who are called to serve a greater purpose and understand that they are working for the success of something bigger than themselves.

All NAIFA leaders should attend the Q4 State of NAIFA webinar tomorrow, October 6, at 12 noon eastern.

We truly appreciate the efforts of all the NAIFA members recruiting new members and helping our association grow. We are as strong as our membership! A special thanks to the following members who recruited new members to join this week.
