The Top 5 Things NAIFA Leaders Can Do to Promote NAIFA's Grassroots

NAIFA leaders are key to driving our association's grassroots advocacy success. Many of you have been politically involved for years and know the ins and outs of advocacy. You are influential in your chapters and the broader industry. 

NAIFA's grassroots is as important as ever. At the federal level, a new administration and new Congress are shaping policies, including tax reform, that will impact the insurance and financial service industry for decades. It is crucial that our voices are heard.

Top 5 Things NAIFA Leaders Can Do to Promote Grassroots

1. Attend NAIFA's Congressional Conference, May 19-20 in Washington, D.C. Registration is open now!
2. Invite a new member or member who is not politically involved to join you at the Congressional Conference. We have put a major emphasis on expanding our grassroots footprint. NAIFA is offering travel stipends to the first 100 eligible Congressional Conference first-timers. If you convince them to attend, there is a good chance they will be hooked on NAIFA advocacy for good.
3. Attend and promote your state legislative days. NAIFA's state-level advocacy is second-to-none and it truly differentiates us as the most influential advocacy association of insurance and financial professionals.
4. Complete the Financial Security Advocate Academy and promote the program within your chapter. Earning the FSA badge is the best thing a NAIFA member can do to take their grassroots and advocacy skills to the next level. Complete the program at your own pace or sign up to attend tomorrow's FSA Academy Webinar. 
5. Contribute to IFAPAC! Our political action committee helps ensure we have a seat at the table for important discussions at the state and federal levels.
   
   

Contributions to IFAPAC are voluntary and are used to contribute to campaigns of candidates for elected office. Your contributions will be divided between your state chapter’s IFAPAC and IFAPAC National if you have directed NAIFA to do so. You have the right to refuse to contribute without reprisal. The amount contributed will not benefit or disadvantage you in any way. Corporate contributions to IFAPAC’s political fund are prohibited. Contributions to IFAPAC are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. For NAIFA-Massachusetts members, the division of funds will be 60%/40% up to the state limit of $500 per calendar year. For NAIFA-New York members, a contribution on an LLC account will be retained 100% by the IFAPAC administrative fund due to state campaign finance rules.
