NAIFA’s annual Congressional Conference is crucial to our grassroots advocacy strategy. The event brings NAIFA members together as a critical mass to advocate on behalf of their businesses, clients, consumers, and the insurance and financial services industry. It provides targeted advocacy training with briefings on specific legislative issues, best practices for conducting congressional meetings, and tips for developing impactful long-term relationships with legislators.
Due to COVID-19 protocols, the 2021 Congressional Conference will be an entirely virtual event. This in no way diminishes its impact. The event, as always, features meetings with members of Congress and their offices. The only difference is that these discussions will be online rather than in-person.
The Congressional Conference bolsters NAIFA’s prestige among lawmakers and industry partners and enhances our standing as the leading voice for insurance and financial professionals. It is crucial for ensuring lawmakers thoroughly understand the important roles NAIFA members play in:
The personal stories of insurance and financial professionals profoundly illustrate how public policies impact their clients. These are stories lawmakers want and need to hear. No one can tell them better than NAIFA members, and the Congressional Conference is our best vehicle for reaching a large, captive audience of policymakers.
The virtual Congressional Conference offers a great opportunity to get more NAIFA members to participate. It eliminates the need for travel and lodging and more easily fits the schedules of busy professionals.
