K.C. Padget NAIFA-Jacksonville Membership Update

Submitted by K.C. Padget
Membership Director

Membership is the life blood in any organization. Our membership goal for the current year is 288 and our current membership is 238.  We are behind our goal number however I am confident with our entire membership working together we will see an increase very soon.

I cannot emphasize how important membership is to our future and the need to increase the number of insurance and financial advisors to join us in this organization.

Help your leaders by recruiting a new member and if you know someone in our business that is not a current member - invite them to our NAIFA Kick-Off Meeting September 29, 2016.

Did you know that if you help recruit just 5 new members this year, you will become an esteemed NAIFA -Florida's Pinnacle Club Member receiving the Pinnacle Club lapel pin and special recognition at the NAIFA-Florida Annual Career Advancement conference?

We are asking members to also support our membership committee by volunteering to make just 5 phone calls to help welcome new members, calls to those that have mistakenly lapsed membership and those up for renewal.

We all have the same 24 hours in the day so please contact K.C. Padget, Membership Director at 904-599-2588 or email [email protected].
