NAIFA grassroots also asked Congress to oppose an unnecessary Department of Labor fiduciary-only proposal that would reduce consumers’ options when seeking financial advice and products and deprive many middle- and lower-income investors of advice altogether. In meetings with their Representatives and Senators, they focused on the critical role agents, advisors, and other financial professionals play in securing the financial futures of their clients and communities.
NAIFA members’ personal stories, which represent their businesses, clients, and communities, help lawmakers thoroughly understand the important role NAIFA members play in:
- Providing products, services, and advice that improve the financial security of 90 million American families.
- Promoting financial literacy and self-sufficiency in diverse communities.
- Strengthening the U.S. economy and contributing to the financial health of communities in every congressional district.
- Representing the best interests of their clients and promoting the success of Main Street Americans and businesses.
Today’s Day on the Hill is the third leg of NAIFA’s three-point grassroots strategy that has members meeting with Congressional leaders in May during the Congressional Conference, in summer with in-district meetings, and bringing NAIFA chapter leaders to the Hill in December of each year. Next year’s Congressional Conference will be held May 20-21, 2024, in Washington, D.C.
