Advocates
"NAIFA's Advocacy Training program was phenomenal! I believe the program is a must-do for all that want to actively advocate for any cause. The courses are very informative and interactive, and I learned so much more by completing them."
Thomas Palmeri, LUTCF
Loyal NAIFA member since 1985
