Excellence on Display: NAIFA Award Winners to Get Their Due at the In-Person National Leadership Conference

t long last, NAIFA will be hosting an in-person signature event: the 2021 National Leadership Conference, December 6-7, in Washington, D.C. The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to host recent signature events, including the Congressional Conference and Performance + Purpose conference, in a 100% virtual setting.

The National Leadership Conference is NAIFA’s annual business meeting and volunteer leadership training conference. Members holding chapter leadership positions are strongly urged to attend.

The highlight of the event will be an awards ceremony event to recognize and celebrate the best of the best within NAIFA Nation. Awards to be presented include:

• The 2021 NAIFA Diversity Champion

• The 2021 NAIFA Young Advisor Team Leader of the Year

• Advisor Today’s Four Under 40 Awards

• The inaugural Terry Headley Lifetime Defender Award, which will recognize a current NAIFA member who shows exemplary service to their profession, colleagues and clients through their political advocacy and contributions to IFAPAC

• The John Newton Russell Memorial Award, which is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon an individual in the life insurance and financial planning industry

NAIFA Quality Award winners will also receive recognition at the awards event. NAIFA’s awards programs are administered by the NAIFA Talent Development Center. NAIFA members show their excellence through their membership and participation in the leading professional association for agents and advisors. NAIFA award recipients go above and beyond to epitomize the culture of excellence common to NAIFA members. The awards are another way that NAIFA helps insurance and financial professionals differentiate themselves from their peers.
