“By joining NAIFA and becoming involved in our association, I grew my business and became a better advisor, serving my clients with the knowledge and experience that they deserve.
My experience with NAIFA taught me the value of our industry, its accomplished leaders, and how congressional legislation impacts the lives of our clients and our own bottom line.
As a NAIFA member, I continue to take advantage of programs only available to NAIFA members, including LILI, the Leadership in Life Institute. Without NAIFA, I would not have had the leadership experience, the business growth opportunities and the personal friendships I have enjoyed throughout my career.
NAIFA continues to support the growth of our industry and protects the future of our profession and the clients we represent.”

“As a BGA, NAIFA networking contributes to my success every day. Our long time producers continue with us not only because of the services we provide, but also because of our relationships developed through NAIFA. Some of the largest cases we’ve been involved with have come because of those relationships.
As an agent, NAIFA contributes to my success through professional development and, of course, advocacy. Many may not realize it, but we would all be out of business without the daily advocacy efforts of NAIFA and its members. There are NAIFA members in every congressional district in the United States. No other insurance industry organization has that type of strength in grassroots political influence.
Our agency continues to grow. We are an LLC, a member of an IMO and work with approximately 1,600 agents nationwide.
As we continue to thrive, I am reminded constantly of the importance of NAIFA, especially as the voice of the agents and the clients we serve.”

“I would have never had any measure of success, let alone survive in this very competitive industry, if it weren’t for NAIFA. Whenever someone asks me about the value of membership or, “what do I get for my dues?” I have a simple answer.
Because of my membership in NAIFA, I have grown far beyond any dreams of success I expected from a career. I have helped my clients in ways they never thought possible. I have helped other people survive the perils inherent in this great business. Because of my NAIFA involvement, I would like to think, I have helped make it a better Federation to withstand
the political, economic and societal changes that impact us daily. In short, I am convinced I am a better person because of NAIFA.”

"We are a multi-state BGA with four locations and four principals. I owned my own shop for 20 years prior to merging into a larger practice and it’s been very successful.
NAIFA is our professional association, just like the AMA is for doctors or the Bar is for attorneys. NAIFA is the only group that represents everything we do – no one else can compete. Others address only small portions of our business. The one common association for everyone and everything we do is NAIFA.
NAIFA is the voice in Washington that protects our business, products and clients. I have a lot of different responsibilities in my office, but that’s one part of my business I can’t do without NAIFA. I trust NAIFA to deal with Capitol Hill because they’ve earned that trust.
And I’m here when they need me. If we need to light up a legislator’s phone lines about an issue, I will make that call. That’s NAIFA’s strength.”

"We are a national IMO insurance agency that has been in existence for over 40 years. We work with more than 500 representatives around the country. I’ve been a NAIFA member my entire career.
What I found in NAIFA was a group of people who work together to advocate for our industry and share our challenges and knowledge. Without NAIFA, I doubt my career would have worked out as well as it has. NAIFA is full of successful people who are both great examples of how to get the job done and are also willing to share that knowledge.
There are also practical, everyday benefits of being a NAIFA member. For example, our discount on computer hardware is unmatched for small businesses.
NAIFA’s opportunities cover so much of what we do, that even though I’ve been a member a long time I still find benefits that are new and useful.
