NAIFA Board of Trustees Approve 2030 Strategic Plan

By Kevin Mayeux on 10/2/24 4:30 PM

A message from NAIFA CEO Kevin Mayeux:

Dear NAIFA Leaders:

The final NAIFA 2030 Strategic Plan, as approved by the Board of Trustees in Phoenix, is now available here.

Thanks to many of you for submitting fantastic and forward-thinking input over the summer months. As you may know, the plan initially was drafted by a cross-section of NAIFA members, staff, and industry professionals who served on the strategic planning committee, then reviewed by a stakeholder review team, and enhanced by further feedback from you, as well as our past presidents, general membership, and our internal staff team.

Activity Begets Opportunity

By Suzanne Carawan on 3/6/24 7:48 PM

There's one and only one secret to sales---consistent, ruthless activity. We all know it, heck--that's how we built our businesses, but somehow, when it comes to growing membership at NAIFA, we find ourselves freezing, not knowing the value proposition, being hesitant to put ourselves out there to ask others to join even though we clearly see and have experienced the value. I get it--believe me, I totally get it. If I had a dollar for every person that told me I should be in sales, I would be a millionaire, but the issue I always had was for me to sell a product, I had to really believe in it. The problem with me is that I have a hard time in believing in most products, but I am a diehard in believing in concepts or philosophical truths. 

I grew up in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. in Maryland, an original colony state. When you grow up in an original colony state, history is just embedded into your education. You are taught the Paul Revere story by first grade and know the entire American Revolution, minutemen, and writing of the Declaration of Independence before you ever leave elementary school. You understand states rights and the power of states coming together--and moreover, the force that we can be as a democracy when we come together to fight.
