Titled “Serving Main Street in a New Normal”, the session’s objective is “to create a conversation around what each association is doing to support their members and the industry and the importance of coming together and building synergies to support the industry,” according to Kevin Mayeux, CEO of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors, who will moderate the panel.
