The National Leadership Conference and Belong Shine a Light on NAIFA’s Leaders

There is a leader inside every NAIFA member. The skills that propel insurance and financial advisors to succeed in a very tough business, build their practices, and provide confident guidance to clients large and small are often the same as those that make great leaders.

It’s no wonder that so many NAIFA members play leading roles in their communities, are politically aware and involved, and are highly successful entrepreneurs and business owners. NAIFA exists to help financial professionals succeed and reach the peak of their profession. Time after time, top-performing agents and advisors say they wouldn’t be where they are today if it hadn’t been for NAIFA.

leaders are the lifeblood of our association. Becoming a NAIFA leader at any level is a great way to give back to your industry and your colleagues. It’s also a great way to give back to yourself.

NAIFA leadership is personally rewarding and differentiates those who volunteer from those who choose to sit on the sidelines. Taking on a leadership role opens new opportunities and helps you get the very most out of your association membership. It can lead to further recognition – from being featured in NAIFA’s publications and online content to receiving NAIFA’s most prestigious awards.

Celebrating NAIFA’s Leaders

The National Leadership Conference (NLC) and Belong awards celebration, November 13-15 in Washington, D.C., is NAIFA’s signature event to recognize and reward our leaders and award winners. The NLC begins with targeted training and collaborative sessions. The leader-training portion of the NLC was completely revised and revamped last year to educate, train, and encourage NAIFA’s volunteer leaders to take full advantage of the resources, relationships, and people power of our membership together as One NAIFA.

The true purpose of the NLC is to serve as the launchpad for NAIFA leaders planning, working, collaborating, and leveraging their shared resources as NAIFA Nation. Based on what we learned this past year, additional fine-tuning promises to make the 2022 NLC more impactful than ever. It is an event that every NAIFA leader should attend.

It is also NAIFA’s annual business meeting where we will elect and swear in our 2023 national leadership and also swear in our 2023 chapter leaders. The Belong event will celebrate not only our new leaders but also the 2022 NAIFA Award winners, including the John Newton Russell Memorial Award recipient, Terry Headley Lifetime Defender, Young Advisor Team Leader of the Year, NAIFA Diversity Champion, and Advisor Today ’s 4 Under 40.

The NLC and Belong are how we recognize and reward the best of the best among our members. If you want to explore NAIFA leadership opportunities, contact your state or local NAIFA chapter to learn how you can get involved.
