FALLS CHURCH, Va. (PRWEB) January 26, 2022 - The Q1 State of NAIFA webinar, presented January 26, featured National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) President Lawrence Holzberg, LUTCF, LACP, and CEO Kevin Mayeux, CAE, who updated the associations stakeholders on how NAIFA is serving members and the insurance and financial services industry. They also outlined NAIFAs progress towards meeting goals established by the NAIFA 2025 Strategic Plan. The program featured a legislative and regulatory update by NAIFA Senior Vice President for Government Relations Diane Boyle.

Holzberg reported on NAIFAs December National Leadership Conference and introduced the 2022 NAIFA Board of Trustees. He highlighted award winners honored at the NLCs Belong Event gala, including:

The State of NAIFA webinars show NAIFAs commitment to transparency and the associations desire to ensure that stakeholders understand what NAIFA is doing and where it is headed. NAIFA members are encouraged to attend to learn how they can get the maximum benefit from their membership. The event is open to all NAIFA members and their colleagues, corporate and association partners, members of the media, the public, and anyone with an interest in NAIFAs success. The January 26 event is the 13th in the series of State of NAIFA presentations.

NAIFA accomplished a great deal in 2021 and we have much more on tap for 2022. It is important that we keep our members, partners, and the media informed on the state of our association, NAIFA President Holzberg said. The State of NAIFA events are like our shareholder meetings, where, in a spirit of transparency and open communication, we keep everyone who holds a stake in NAIFAs success informed. I encourage all NAIFA members to attend or watch the on-demand recording to know where their association is going and how they can get the most value out of their membership.

Holzberg also lauded NAIFA members for the services they provide Main Street families and businesses in communities across the United States. Through their NAIFA membership, they show their dedication to their profession and commitment to serving the best interests of their clients. We are NAIFA Nation, he said, stressing NAIFAs important role in unifying the industry and country. NAIFA members are at the heart of the U.S. economy, providing opportunities for financial security and success to all Americans.

CEO Kevin Mayeux followed Holzberg with a report on products and services NAIFA has delivered and those planned for the coming year under NAIFAs 2022 Business Implementation Plan. Upcoming NAIFA offerings include:

Diane Boyle followed with a rundown of NAIFAs key advocacy wins from 2021 and a briefing on the state and federal advocacy challenges currently facing financial professionals and the Main Street Americans they serve. She highlighted NAIFAs success, along with ACLI and other partners, in urging 19 states to adopt consumer protections for annuity customers based on a National Association of Insurance Commissioners model that preserves consumer choice and the ability of producers to serve their clients. NAIFA is the only association advocating in Washington, D.C., and every state capital on behalf of insurance and financial professionals and the consumers they serve.

NAIFA is committed to transparency, and keeping all of our stakeholders informed is a crucial part of our NAIFA 2025 Strategic Plan, said CEO Mayeux. Along with our annual Business Implementation Plans and quarterly dashboard reports to members, the State of NAIFA events allow us as an association to chart our progress, lay out our future vision, and establish accountability.

The Q1 2022 State of NAIFA, as well as recordings of previous State of NAIFA webinars, is available on NAIFAs website for on-demand viewing.
