November 5, 2007 (FALLS CHURCH, VA) The Northwestern Mutual Financial Network has joined forces with the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) by not only recommending to its financial representatives that they join NAIFA, but by offering reimbursement for the national portion of membership dues.
In a letter distributed this month to the company's field force, Northwestern Mutual's William H. Beckley, CLU, ChFC, MSFS, Executive Vice President – Agencies, encourages its financial representatives "to make an investment in your career and our profession by joining the nation’s oldest and most influential association serving the insurance and financial services industry."
"As a company, we are committed to building membership among our financial representatives," Beckley's letter explains. "NAIFA protects and promotes the critical role of insurance in a sound financial plan, as well as the essential role provided by professional agents and advisors. That is why I strongly advocate membership in NAIFA and encourage your personal participation in the organization."
Northwestern Mutual representatives will also receive the many benefits of NAIFA membership to help them grow and build their careers. "Northwestern Mutual is recognizing that NAIFA has much more to offer than just advocacy," Taggart explained. "With the implementation of NAIFA 21, Northwestern Mutual agents will be able to take advantage of education and sales training and networking opportunities that make them stronger agents and in turn, makes Northwestern Mutual a strong company."
NAIFA 21, NAIFA's new strategic plan, is a variety of new tools to give its members access to the resources they need to succeed when and where they need them. These benefits include a full-service educational and sales training resource, new networking opportunities to boost your business, and enhanced advocacy outreach at the state and federal levels.

Members focus their practices on one or more of the following: life insurance and annuities, health insurance and employee benefits, multiline, and financial advising and investments.
