Association Awards

NAIFA recognizes NAIFA's state and local associations and their leaders who excel in all facets of association management. Those associations are honored each year with the Jack E. Bobo Award of Excellence, which was developed at the recommendation of the Transformation Task Force Report of April 2003. It replaces the six separate association awards given in past years.

The award is based on the critical components identified as crucial to strengthening NAIFA and increasing membership. It has been named in honor of Jack E. Bobo, CLU, FLMI, who served with distinction as NAIFA's president and as executive vice president. Additionally, Bobo is a recipient of the prestigious John Newton Russell Award.
