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.

Connections were established, conversations were had, and a difference was made. YOU are invited to join us for NAIFA's 2026 Congressional Conference, where you, too, will make a difference.

That’s roughly a 26% increase statewide compared to 2023.
