Meet the newest Real Life Story recipient, Racquel Pleasants, as Barb hosts a compelling Q&A with Racquel who will share her family’s emotional journey. Racquel and her husband Ryan, a firefighter and nurse, never imagined they’d need the life insurance they purchased early on.

Learn how to leverage Life Happens resources that are exclusive to NAIFA members.
-
Understand how to move clients to action as you inspire and educate through real-life examples.
This webinar offers a moving look at why life insurance matters, how it can provide stability during life’s most difficult moments, and the real-life impact it has on families like the Pleasants.

NAIFA Members Meet With Congressman Tony Wied
Earlier this month, NAIFA members had the opportunity to meet with Congressman Tony Wied, who is currently serving his first term representing Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District. The meeting included time for personal introductions, as well as an overview of NAIFA—our mission, membership, and the clients we serve.
We also presented Congressman Wied with our issue brief highlighting bipartisan legislation supported by NAIFA and encouraged him to consider co-sponsoring these important bills.
It was a productive and engaging conversation, and we look forward to building a strong working relationship with Congressman Wied and his team.
