Blake Finney is looking forward to attending the NAIFA Congressional Conference, which takes place May 23-24 in Washington, D.C. This will be the third time that the NAIFA YAT member, President of NAIFA-Middle Tennessee, and agent with Shelter Insurance will be attending this flagship event.

NAIFA President Paul Dougherty issued the following statement on the DOL delay:

Registration for the May 23-24, 2017 NAIFA Congressional Conference is now open!

The DOL fiduciary rules “would disincentivize people to tax themselves through insurance premiums, and in the long run … there would be more families reliant on the government because they wouldn't have done the planning themselves,” NAIFA-Florida President Ron Whited told The Gainesville (Fla.) Sun in a June 19 profile.

InsuranceNewsNet is hosting a one-time only live webinar on Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2015 at 12 PM EST. Join moderator Kim O’Brien and her guests, including NAIFA President Jules Gaudreau and NAIFA Director Judi Carsrud, to learn the potential impact the DOL rule will have on the businesses of agents and advisors.

One reason I truly admire NAIFA members is that you need a very thick skin to do your jobs. You and your colleagues are dedicated to serving your clients and ensuring the financial security of 75 million American families. Yet, whenever you are dealing with the finances of others you’re bound to encounter those skeptical of your motives.

NAIFA is adapting its advocacy methods to better engage officials in Washington, both those who are elected to Congress and those appointed to regulatory posts, NAIFA Senior Vice President of Government Relations Diane Boyle told attendees of NAIFA's Legislative Forum at NAIFA's Career Conference and Annual Meeting.

Dear NAIFA Member,

Thanks largely to the lobbying efforts of NAIFA-New York State, the New York State Department of Finances has amended Regulation 60 to allow insurers to accept applications immediately and issue disclosures later, before the policy goes into effect.

The NAIFA Government Relations team provided their annual legislative update to attendees at NAIFA’s Career Conference and Annual Meeting.
