The Board of Directors guides the development of the program's strategic plan and provides oversight. Members also offer expertise and make policy recommendations.

Erstad chairs NAIFA's national Government Relations Committee. He is also a Past President of NAIFA's Idaho chapter and Boise affiliate. He is a regular attendee of NAIFA events, including the Congressional Conference and Idaho's legislative days.

The Senate Commerce Committee votes next week on Erstad's reappointment and then it moves onto the House of Representatives for final approval.
