NAIFA is very sad to learn of the passing of JoAnn Martin, the former CEO of Ameritas and a respected leader in the insurance and financial services industry. Martin led Ameritas for more than 10 years before her retirement in 2020. She was a strong supporter of NAIFA and our industry.

Ameritas held its Pathways conference this week in Denver, Colorado. Randy Clark, Senior Director of Membership Outreach & Engagement, and Beth Helberg, Director of Partner Marketing, attended from NAIFA staff to support the event. Thanks to Ameritas, we were able to organize a group photo of some of our many NAIFA members who are part of Ameritas. NAIFA members were ecstatic to have the opportunity to unite together for the first time in over a year to show their pride in belonging to their beloved professional association.
