NAIFA is happy to announce that the 2024 Summer Membership Challenge has begun! You can help your State chapter to win cash prizes that will be put back into your programs and membership development.  We are a word-of-mouth society and your referrals are our future members, so let's get out the invites to those financial service professionals (attorneys, agents, advisors, loan officers, financial coaches, and accountants) that you know who are good candidates for NAIFA membership. Make sure they use your name and you will be rewarded! You can also submit their names and the Membership Team will follow up on your behalf.

The rules are simple, the top three chapters that achieve the highest percentage growth will win cash prizes! Winners are announced at the 2024 Apex Conference in Arizona this September 19-21.

• Winners will be determined by highest percentage of growth based on membership totals June 1-August 31.
• The winning chapter will receive $1,000, Second place $500, Third place $250.
• All membership is counted.  Not just new members.  Results are based on starting numbers in June and final numbers in September.
• Tiebreaker- Total number of NEW IFAPAC donors during the same time frame!

Help NAIFA grow, especially within your state by referring new members, and winning back former ones.  Your State membership chair will receive all of the pertinent info on Wednesday, June 26th.  To find out how you can help, reach out to your State membership chair or contact the home office membership team at membership@naifa.org.

We will post weekly stats and rankings so you can see how you're doing! Remember, the $10 egift card for referring for a member still stands, so you could pay for your sunscreen, cocktail, hot dogs, AND help your chapter be #1 in the Nation!
