Everything
is being readied for our 75th Annual Meeting and Day on the Hill,
May 19 and 20 in Sacramento. Have you made plans to join us as
NAIFA-California celebrates 75 years as the premier agent and broker
insurance organization? I hope
so! It will indeed be a memorable
event, with wonderful motivational
and industry |
|
speakers, company exhibits,
important government updates, and, of course, the recognition of the
successes enjoyed by many of our Locals.
The Annual
Meeting and Awards Dinner are always the highlight of the year for any
President. I am no
exception! I very much look
forward to gathering with local leaders and members to share stories and hear
first hand what is working for our members. A fitting climax to the “Year of the Local”.
Looking forward to seeing You in Sacramento!

No One Can Stop You
but YOU

Communications, overcame a devastating injury to become the
first NBA rookie free agent ever to start on opening night.
Walter, the young man who never, ever gave up on his dreams,
went on to have an eight-year professional basketball career,
for the Utah Jazz and the Detroit Pistons. Toward the end of his
basketball career, Walter changed his profession, but never
changed his winning attitude. |
Member Benefits – California Pilot
Program
This trial program is a great opportunity for all California
agents. It will allow agents
that are not NAIFA Members, and who reside in the state of California to apply and qualify for the E
& O program. Those eligible
to join NAIFA will then pay full state and local dues, however, NAIFA
national dues will be set at zero for the first year of membership. At the time of renewal, and in order
to maintain Errors & Omissions (E & O) insurance coverage, members
who joined NAIFA as a result of this pilot program will then pay full
dues.
Aon and NAIFA will continuously track the
results of this pilot program and will make definitive determinations of a
possible pilot expansion depending on final results and figures.
Currently, all NAIFA members are eligible to receive E & O
Coverage through Aon. To learn more, and to get a quick rate
quote, please visit www.naifainsurance.com.
