NAIFA’s Congressional Conference

The coming months will bring us many challenges and opportunities as the Trump Administration carries out its agenda. An important part of this agenda is tax reform, which involves rate reduction and simplification, as well as pro-growth policies that promote U.S. competitiveness.

To achieve some of the Trump Administration’s tax-reform goals, lawmakers are looking at the entire tax code and proposing sweeping changes. For the first time since 2011, there are majorities in both houses of Congress held by members from the same party as the president; so, real action on tax reform is more likely than at any time in recent memory.

Fortunately, NAIFA is in a position to influence decisions that affect the success of every advisor, along with their clients and the entire insurance and financial-services industry. We are making a difference and will work with the administration as it seeks to eliminate burdensome regulations that harm your business.

NAIFA’s Congressional Conference

As the administration works on its agenda, we will work on ours, which is to let lawmakers know that millions of middle-income Americans are counting on our products to protect their families and provide them with long-term financial security.

NAIFA’s upcoming Congressional Conference provides us with the perfect opportunity to tell this important story. Scheduled from May 23 to May 24 in Washington, D.C., the meeting will bring together hundreds of NAIFA members who will educate their members of Congress about issues of concern and help shape national public policy.

Much has changed since 700 NAIFA members took our unified political-advocacy message to Washington, D.C., as part of the 2016 Congressional Conference. For one thing, we have a new Congress. There are seven senators and 52 House members who were elected for the first time this past November and who did not benefit from last year’s Congressional Conference meetings with NAIFA members. So this year’s Congressional Conference affords us the perfect opportunity to educate these new lawmakers about the important role our products play in the lives of millions of Americans.

Now more than ever, NAIFA needs you to attend the 2017 Congressional Conference to ensure that laws and regulations enhance, not restrict, the ability of middle-market families to have access to the products and services we offer — products and services that help them secure their financial future.

Your participation is critical to the formation of sound policies that benefit the industry and the clients you serve. So please register today for the 2017 Congressional Conference and join your colleagues from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Together, we will make a difference.
