“NAIFA Community: Members in Action” is a new publication that tells the stories of NAIFA members by showing how they make the most of NAIFA’s Advocate, Educate, Differentiate membership promise. NAIFA CEO Kevin Mayeux writes that the report “highlights the deeds and achievements of 10 extraordinary NAIFA members and contributors and demonstrates how their participation in the NAIFA experience has boosted their professional success and helped them better serve industry colleagues, clients, and others within their spheres of influence. Each one is a microcosm, representing the ways that thousands of financial professionals also make the most of their NAIFA experiences to bolster their own success and benefit others.”

Like NAIFA members in general, subjects of “NAIFA Community” articles come from all parts of the United States, excel in a variety of practice specialties, and represent different career stages. In addition to a feature article on 2026 NAIFA President Christopher Gandy, the publication provides profiles on:

• Kathleen Bilderback, a member of NAIFA-Missouri and a national trustee
• Ro Bourne, NAIFA-Georgia
• Dennis Cuccinelli, a member of NAIFA-New Jersey and past national trustee.
• Sara Decatoire, executive director of NAIFA-Illinois
• Rick Demko, NAIFA-Texas
• Braden Draggoo, NAIFA-Washington
• Jeffrey Klinkhamer, NAIFA-Indiana
• John Migliaccio, NAIFA-New York
• Dori Phillips, NAIFA-Utah

These snapshots fit together into a tapestry illustrating the myriad benefits of NAIFA membership and highlighting NAIFA’s influence within the industry and beyond.
