We are now a leaner, nimbler NAIFA, with state and large local chapters working hand-in-hand as One NAIFA to provide a consistent, high-quality member experience that gives our members the best opportunity to succeed and prosper. I am honored to continue to serve NAIFA at such a meaningful time in our association’s history and am encouraged by the fact that my colleagues have the talent, dedication, and leadership to move NAIFA forward and provide the greatest possible benefit for our members.”
