NAIFA is a proud member of the Coalition for Equity in Wholesaling, a group founded by Equitable to increase the number of diverse professionals in the role of insurance wholesaler. The initial focus of the coalition “is on the Black community, which will inform its work and serve as a blueprint as it scales a repeatable model that will ultimately be used to benefit all diverse communities.”

Over six months ago their journey began, six students in NAIFA’s Leadership in Life Institute (LILI) embarked on a path of study, introspection, and personal growth. On Tuesday November 19th, these students were joined by NAIFA President Tom Michel and 40 LILI alumni for an online commencement celebration.

Themes of self-improvement, perseverance through tragedy, and life-long friendships formed in the LILI class were in evidence as each graduate took time to share their LILI story.

A past president of NAIFA Los Angeles, incoming president of the Los Angeles chapter of Women in Financial Services (WIFS), and graduate of NAIFA’s Leadership in Life Institute (LILI), Joanna Dellosa is a proven leader. So, it is no surprise she was one of the first advisors to earn the Life and Annuity Certified Professional (LACP) certification when it was launched in 2017.

NAIFA CEO Kevin Mayeux, CAE, was a featured speaker at NAIFA-Central Florida's November Luncheon Meeting in Orlando. Mayeux gave an update on the state of NAIFA Nation and highlighted NAIFA's membership campaign: Taxation Needs Representation.

NAIFA congratulates the members who earned the Life and Annuity Certified Professional (LACP) certification during the July testing window:
