What is the appeal of Apex, NAIFA’s new event open to all in the industry?
From the Past President
By Thomas O. Michel, LACP
Members should attend Apex because we’ve put together an all-star line-up of speakers that will not only inspire you, but truly open your eyes to new ways to do business, how the industry has changed, and more importantly, where your business is inevitably headed. We have chosen each speaker with extreme intention to ensure that we are going to deliver what we promise: a true sales summit experience that will empower you to go home and make 2022 your best year yet. What’s even more exciting is that it’s a phenomenal platform to invite advisors in that don’t know what NAIFA is all about to meet our members and learn why they should belong, and to promote financial literacy as a pathway to financial security for all.
From the President

Members should attend to experience the evolution of NAIFA since we changed our bylaws and restructured the association. With the pandemic, most members have not been able to gather together in person at a largescale event to really witness the power of One NAIFA. We are delivering on our promise from QME to provide stellar sales and marketing education to all advisors and agents regardless of where they geographically live. Apex is for producers who want to excel in their practice, period. We have moved all the membership components of awards, leadership training, the annual business meeting, and the like to the National Leadership Conference that will be held in November 2022, so that Apex can stand alone as a pure-play way to excel in this industry.
From the President-Elect

The better question is why would you choose not to attend? Apex will be at the incredible Arizona Biltmore hotel, which was opened at the end of the roaring 20s. Not only will you be surrounded by other financial services professionals who want to network and learn together, but you can extend your stay pre-or-post at unbeatable hotel rates so that you can bring your family and experience all that the PhoenixScottsdale area has to offer. NAIFA has truly put together a next-level experience for advisors during Apex, and it’s a fresh way for you to re-engage with NAIFA and learn all that NAIFA has to offer now that we’re One NAIFA.
