Each quarter the committees of Membership, Grassroots, and IFAPAC (also known as the Trifecta Team) select a member who has gone above and beyond that quarter in each of their respective areas. We are #NAIFAproud to recognize our Q2 2024 Hard Hat Winners, Corrado Gugliotta, LUTCF, FSCP, CLTC, LACP: Membership, Joseph Pearl, CFP: Grassroots, and Timothy Johnson, FSS, LACP: IFAPAC.

Corrado Gugliotta served as NAIFA-New Jersey's president in 2020 and has recently relocated to Jacksonville, for a managerial role with New York Life. He has been instrumental in bringing in 15 members this year and enrolling them in NYL's ledger deduct program. Corrado regularly talks about NAIFA during his agency meetings and encourages everyone to get involved.  He is an IFAPAC contributor and actively participates in grassroots advocacy. Corrado is currently serving on the Field Leader Experience Team (FLEX).

Joe Pearl has been instrumental in the success of NAIFA-Ohio’s grassroots advocacy efforts and demonstrated his leadership during this year's 2024 Congressional Conference. Joe ensured that the large Ohio delegation was prepared for their Capitol Hill visits and took the lead during half a dozen meetings with lawmakers and staff, showing some of the newer members the ropes. This year Joe is serving as the NAIFA-Columbus Membership chair.

This year's IFAPAC Madness campaign saw increased engagement with IFAPAC across the nation. Tim Johnson's dark horse state, Utah, remained competitive throughout the competition, achieving a well-deserved second place. Tim's efforts to keep NAIFA-Utah motivated and engaged with IFAPAC Madness while fending off states with more resources were extraordinary. He currently serves NAIFA-Utah as their IFAPAC Chair. Tim's other accolades include being President of the former NAIFA-Lakeview Utah local chapter and a 2012 LILI graduate.
