From the conflict in the Middle East, a NAIFA member is glad to have support from his association back home.
Greetings to all from sunny Iraq. I just wanted to say hi and I hope I find everyone in good will. I am still enjoying my tour of duty here. I have a staff of civilians as well as military personnel. I do miss the committees and all of the interesting work that is done for our Association. I guess you guys are gearing up for the Annual Convention. Keep the Association going. You do make it happen.
I would like to share with you a couple of good days I have had while I
am here. I received two different packages on separate days. That
really makes a soldier happy. The first came from Samantha Blodgett,
who is the director of member benefits at NAIFA. She sent me a care
package of two EduCalls and several of our Advisor Today magazines.
I have enjoyed every bit of the info on all of the mediums. On a separate
reception, I received a signed banner from NAIFA Mississippi where I proudly
say I was the past president as well as president of the year during my
reign in MS. (The good ole' days). This was done by my distinguished
state director, Betty Cammack. I have attached a picture that I hope
some day ends up in our Advisor Today.
People ask why be a NAIFA member and I will gladly tell them of the benefits,
but no benefit is better than being made to feel right at home in a hostile
environment far away from home. It is good to know my NAIFA association
supports me when I need them most. I proudly display my banner in my
office and when someone asks, I gladly tell them who I represent and how
they are representing me. It really feels good to tell a good story
of good people.
I wish I could be at this year’s convention, but the travel is rough. With
my banner and other NAIFA material in my office, I feel I am there everyday.
Thanks for what you are doing and please take care of your customers. They are the reason we do what we do.”
