NAIFA-Texas has issued a public letter of support for their fellow NAIFA members who make up the NAIFA-New York chapter. The letter states that NAIFA-Texas’s Board was “shocked and dismayed to learn that a small group of New York State members were seemingly hoodwinked into voting to disaffiliate with NAIFA” and, particularly, that they did so without the knowledge of the rest of the state chapter’s membership.

“As the Board of Directors serving NAIFA-Texas, we would like to unanimously state for the public record that we are committed to NAIFA Nation and will serve our members’ best interests,” the letter says. “We undertake our fiduciary duties of overseeing our state chapter association seriously and are good stewards of our chapter’s assets whether the resources we oversee are monetary or human capital.”

“NAIFA Nation, on behalf of our members in New York State and in every state, would like to thank NAIFA-Texas for this statement of support and for its rededication to unity and the NAIFA way,” said NAIFA CEO Kevin Mayeux, CAE. “Together, we can take on anything.”
