NAIFA Advocacy Gets Immediate Results

NAIFA Is the One and Only!

We ARE the people making a real difference in achieving financial security for Main Street Americans.
 
NAIFA’s advocacy efforts are nonstop, working on behalf of agents & advisors, and your clients. No other association represents financial services professionals at the state, interstate, and federal levels. No other association brings 500+ producers to Washington, D.C., year after year for our Congressional Conference to speak with federal lawmakers about issues that impact the financial security of American families and businesses. 
How do we know our advocacy makes an impact? How about immediate results?

Fixing some ambiguous language and errors in SECURE 2.0 was one of NAIFA members’ top requests at Hill meetings during NAIFA’s Congressional Conference yesterday. Without these corrections, advisors and consumers could face major headaches in their retirement planning. Fortunately, NAIFA members are on the job!
