2022?”

ANSWER #1

As the 2022 President of NAIFA-Memphis West Tennessee, I’m planning to spread the love for NAIFA by trying to grow our local as much as we possibly can. We’ve already grown the Board by bringing in younger advisors to join me in leadership positions. We’ll be spreading the word about NAIFA — who we are and what we do — throughout the year. Those of us who are here are very passionate about the importance of being a NAIFA member, and we’re working hard to make sure we are getting the message out to the rest of our community.

ANSWER #2

I am continuing to serve on the Board for NAIFA-Los Angeles and am also the National Committeeperson for the chapter. As President of the Los Angeles chapter of Women in Insurance and Financial Services, I am promoting more collaborative work with NAIFALos Angeles so that we can tighten our bond and have greater camaraderie among the two organizations. I’m really hoping to attend NAIFA’s Congressional Conference and the Apex annual conference. I also want to build better connections with my legislators — some of them already know me — but I want to spread the love for NAIFA with them. I really just want to be a good representative of NAIFA and a positive face people can put to the association.

ANSWER #3

When it comes to spreading the love for NAIFA, I’ll be spreading the word to non-members about NAIFA events they can come and experience. Just being a good steward of the business speaks volumes, as well. I’ll continue to do things the right way. I am an active NAIFA member, and we have our Code of Ethics, on top of my own personal code of ethics, to which I adhere. I’ll continue being active on the advocacy front and going to NAIFA events. Really, I’ll just try to get more people on the bus. In North Dakota, we have our membership chair and committee, but we think it’s a collaborative effort as members and leaders of our association to get more members. The more we can spread the word and get more people on board, the better off the association is.

ANSWER #4

I can share the love for NAIFA by looking for ways to be more involved within my local chapter in 2022. What I’m excited about is more in-person NAIFA meetings and getting back to being shoulder-to-shoulder with other NAIFA members. We can also do more to spread the word that NAIFA isn’t just for insurance agencies but also works for advisors who are investmentfocused, especially in advocacy. That’s what I love about NAIFA. Somebody’s got to stick up for the industry, and I appreciate that the association I am a part of does that on my behalf.
