Ways to Get Involved
Advocacy Ambassador
Federal and State grassroots advocacy is at the core of what we stand for at NAIFA. With members in all 435 U.S. congressional districts, it is important that we cultivate meaningful relationships with our lawmakers. These relationships help our association support positive legislation and defeat bad bills that would negatively impact our members as well as their clients on Main Street. When our members participate in Congressional Conference, attend in-district meetings, or go to the Hill during the National Leadership Conference our efforts to meet with federal legislators are unmatched.
Community Financial Wellness
We want to highlight NAIFA members in short topic-based videos that will range from 3-minute “the more you know” videos to 15-20 minute informational webinars on a variety of topics.
Raise awareness of our FinancialSecurity.org consumer-facing brand by sponsoring local events (golf tournaments, high school sports teams, charity events, and more)
Leverage our partner, White Glove to help get you in front of more consumers and generate leads.
NAIFA Trustee
Serve Your Association Colleagues as NAIFA Secretary or a Trustee. NAIFA members who sit on the National Board of Trustees are either nominated and approved by the Governance Committee or appointed by the Committee. Members typically rise through the chairs at the local and then state levels before being selected to the National Board of Trustees.
State Leadership
Serving as a state board member allows you to develop valuable leadership and organizational skills. You'll gain experience in decision-making, strategic planning, budgeting, and team management, which can be beneficial in both your professional and personal life. Serving on a board can be challenging at times, but it can also be a great opportunity for personal growth.
Local or Affiliate Leadership
Volunteering with NAIFA at the local or affiliate level allows you to connect with other professionals in the insurance and financial services industry. Building relationships with colleagues and peers can lead to valuable networking opportunities, which can benefit your career in the long run. Active involvement in a local NAIFA group can enhance your reputation as a dedicated and committed professional within your community. This can build trust with your clients and colleagues.
Media Ambassador
