We’re excited to share that NAIFA is getting ready to launch a new 6-part onboarding email series designed to welcome and engage new members. This upcoming national initiative will ensure that every member receives consistent, timely communication that highlights the value of their NAIFA membership and connects them to their Chapter from the start.

Once launched, new members will begin receiving the onboarding series on the Monday or Thursday immediately following their join date, depending on when they joined. This first message will kick off a sequence of emails delivered over the following weeks and months, providing consistent touchpoints to keep members engaged and connected as they settle into their NAIFA membership.

Scott Dorminy is the Top Recruiter for the Month of August 2024! Straight outta Russellville, Arkansas, Scott is part of the Farmers network and runs an agency of his own name. A member since 2015, Scott is a true man of NAIFA action. 

NAIFA is working with a graduate studies team at Georgetown University to undertake a study on our membership. The pro bono agreement will result in a paper and all contributors/participants will be thanked in the paper and presentation that will be given to NAIFA's National Membership Committee and provided to the Board of Trustees. If you're willing to give 5-7 minutes to complete this survey and/or want to be interviewed by the study leaders, your name will be included in the study to acknowledge your contribution. Thank you in advance for your time and commitment to improving NAIFA!

Join us for a special mid-summer meeting on Wednesday, July 31st at 12 pm eastern to focus on membership. With three Supreme Court decisions affecting our business, the DOL fiduciary-only rule, and the upcoming expiration of certain elements of the Tax and Jobs Cut Act, the time is now to expand our base so that we are prepared to welcome in new leaders at the state and federal levels, as well as take action when necessary. 

You've likely heard Van Mueller say, "There has never been a better day to be an insurance agent,"  but what you'll walk away saying is, "There has never been a better day to belong to NAIFA."

Do you know someone who is passionate about NAIFA, but isn't in a formal leadership role (or might be ready to dip their toe in the water, but needs to start small?) Invite them to attend this session & ask them to be part of our Brand Ambassador Team!

Passion for people is what has powered NAIFA since 1890, and it's on all of us to ensure that we keep NAIFA strong!

Last week, nine state chapters added members!  Notably, Colorado continues its new member acquisition success!  The chapter added another four members last week after recruiting seventeen in May!  Keep up the great work!

The last week of May, while shortened, was very good for new membership growth! 

NAIFA is offering a new membership called the NAIFA 100% Agency program. The new program provides a group membership, a new logo, a promise to be politically active and additional publicity as part of the new membership program.

The new program was rolled out on the January Membership Chairs call.  If you have an agency that is interested, please refer the lead to Dennis Cuccinelli and/or send to recruitment@naifa.org.

NAIFA is pleased to announce that The Fortis Agency, headquartered in Holmdel, NJ at the beautiful Bellworks Complex, has become a 100% NAIFA Agency. Under the new membership program, The Fortis Agency has enrolled all of their advisors as NAIFA members and enrolled them in NAIFA’s grassroots advocacy programs.
