Arlington, Va. — Life Happens, The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA), and National Association of Independent Life Brokerage Agencies (NAILBA) are committed to furthering the success of financial professionals and the financial security and prosperity of their clients by maintaining and building upon longstanding strategic partnerships among industry organizations.
These partnerships further enhance and supplement Life Happens’ mission to inspire the public to take personal financial responsibility through the ownership of life insurance and related products.
An illustration of the above strategic partnerships will be on display when Life Happens hosts events at NAIFA’s Performance + Purpose conference in Orlando, Sept. 11-14. NAIFA is a long-standing association partner and supporter of Life Happens. Real Life Stories, a series of presentations by Life Happens illustrating the personal impact of life insurance professionals and products on families and individuals, is always a Main Stage highlight of NAIFA’s Performance + Purpose conference.
“Life Happens is dedicated to working with all industry associations, companies and financial advisors to better educate consumers about the security provided via life insurance and its related products,” said Faisa Stafford, President and CFO of Life Happens. “Being a non-profit organization, we rely on the support of similar-minded organizations also dedicated to ensuring consumers are protected with the right financial products. That is why we are so thankful of the support and collaboration we have been able to have with our association partners.”
“All of our organizations are important to the growth and success of our members, but where our goals and interests overlap it makes great sense for us to draw on each other’s strengths and work together,” said NAIFA CEO Kevin Mayeux.
