Leadership in Life Institute (LILI)
Excellent leadership is most often delivered by highly effective people. The Leadership in Life Institute (LILI) offers an extensive curriculum that allows you to enhance and expand the skills that make you an effective leader within your association, your industry and your community. By applying the lessons learned through LILI, you will increase productivity, efficiency, effectiveness and overall life satisfaction. Become the best leader you can be by participating in a LILI program offered by your local association.
Online Continuing Education
At one time, a college degree or specialty certification — plus a little hard work – was a guarantee of success and advancement. Today, life-long learning is needed to remain competitive and keep pace with a rapidly changing industry. Online Continuing Education brings continuous learning into your home or office (or anywhere you have an internet connection) so you can enhance your personal knowledge and expand your skill set quickly and easily while saving time and money.
Professional Designations
Professional designations signal a commitment to your career while representing accomplishment and expertise within the insurance and financial services community. Through a longstanding partnership with The American College, NAIFA offers classroom training for the LUTC Fellow (LUTCF) designation and the Financial Services Specialist (FSS) designation. In addition, the Horizons program allows you to complete the CFP® Certification Curriculum, while earning six courses toward the ChFC® and CLU® designations. Invest in your future by earning a professional designation through NAIFA and The American College.
Programs in a Box
Programs in a Box (PIB) is a multimedia presentation aid designed to help state and local associations provide enhanced educational benefits for NAIFA Members. Each PIB has been developed by a recognized authority within a particular subject area and delivers a topic of practical interest to NAIFA Members. Programs in a Box can be used for monthly meetings or special events and most often qualifies for continuing education credits.
