NAIFA Performance + Purpose 2018: The PLUS Makes all the Difference.

By Tara Laptew

NAIFA’s Performance + Purpose provides opportunities for all advisors to improve their career performance. But remember that the conference is titled Performance PLUS Purpose. The “plus” is the extra that reminds you that helping others is just as important as helping yourself.

As a result, NAIFA P+P is teaming up with Together We Rise, a non-profit organization dedicated to changing the way children experience foster care.

Together We Rise has three main programs: Sweet Cases, Build A Bike, and the Family Fellowship Scholarship Program. When foster children move from home to home, they are usually given trash bags to carry their belongings.

The Sweet Cases program replaces these trash bags with decorated blue duffel bags to make foster care transitions a little easier. Build a Bike provides foster youth with bicycles that can be vital transportation to them to jobs or to school. Together We Rise’s Family Fellowship is a safe and supportive scholarship award that benefits successful youth who have aged out of the system.

As an attendee at NAIFA P+P 2018 in San Antonio, you will have an opportunity to give a little of your time to assemble bicycles and prepare Sweet Cases in support of the work of Together We Rise. Devote a couple hours on Thursday, September 13, and work toward making a difference in the lives of foster children across America.
