 Message From the President
Frank Mantay, CFP� NAIFA-Jacksonville President
A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY
A world of opportunity is waiting for you. How do I know? I've experienced this in my own career. I started out as a naive, 27-year-old. I knew there was opportunity to impact the lives of others and that of my budding family. How much, how deeply and how meaningful was yet to be seen. |

2015 Congressional Conference Recap
|
 Submitted by Maureen Kirschhofer, CLU, ChFCNational CommitteepersonNAIFA - Securing America's Financial Future
On May 20, 2015 over 800 advisors from all 50 states came to Capitol Hill to share our various concerns with our Legislators. From NE Florida we had Mike Halloran, Jeremy Pratchard, Paul Broome, Lisa Brooks-Thompson, Lawrence Riegner and myself, Maureen Kirschhofer, who met with our NE Florida Legislators. |
 The current Department of Labor (DOL) Fiduciary proposal, as written, would limit the ability of lower and mid-market retirement savers to access advice, service and retirement products. Our success in ensuring investors of all levels have access to affordable, reliable advice depends on the engagement of advisors. Here's what you can do: - Join NAIFA or renew your NAIFA memberships to add to our clout with regulators and legislators.
- Educate your clients and colleagues about Why The DOL Fiduciary Proposal Would Have A Huge Impact On Advisors And Investors.
- Share with NAIFA how the DOL rule will impact your practice and, particularly, your clients. You don't have to provide client names, and we will not use your name without permission. These stories may be used in discussions with legislators, regulators, or the media, and they may be useful as we prepare our comments on the rule.
NAIFA is the only organization representing insurance and financial advisors regardless of the products they sell or the focus of their practice. Stay up to date with all of the issues at www.naifa.org/advocacy. |
