This year, the National Leadership Conference and Belong awards gala have been combined with NAIFA's Apex to create an extraordinary three-day event. As always, the NLC and Belong will celebrate NAIFA's leaders and recognize extraordinary members. Please join us and encourage all NAIFA members to come as well so that we may properly honor our 2024 award recipients, including:

• John Newton Russell Memorial Award recipient Matthew Tassey of NAIFA-Maine
•  Terry Headley Lifetime Defender recipient John Ruckel of NAIFA-Texas
• NAIFA Young Advisor Team Leader of the Year Kathleen Owings of NAIFA-Colorado

The National Leadership Conference and Apex are taking place at the Arizona Biltmore, September 19-21. See who is coming on the Apex/NLC homepage. If your name is not on the list, now is the time to register and be added. Are you already registered? Review the list to see who among your NAIFA colleagues will be joining you in Phoenix and whose names are missing that you would like to encourage to attend.

To help NAIFA leaders spread the word about NLC and Apex, we've created a toolkit of marketing materials to help you reach out via your online presence, emails, social media, or in person. These ready-made posts, graphics, flyers, and videos are designed to help NAIFA chapters and leaders promote NLC and Apex.
