FALLS CHURCH, Va., Sept. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) has created the NAIFA 2025 Strategic Planning Committee to develop a five-year plan for the association to build on the success of the NAIFA 20/20 Strategic Plan implemented in 2016. The new strategic plan will continue NAIFA's evolution into a fully modernized professional association.

Under NAIFA 20/20, NAIFA became an efficient, streamlined association consisting of a national headquarters, 53 state and territorial chapters, and 35 local chapters. The goal of NAIFA 20/20 and a continuing goal of the NAIFA 2025 Strategic Plan is to provide a consistent, high-quality membership experience to everyone who joins.

NAIFA is the premier professional association for insurance and financial professionals in the United States, and we have a duty to our members and future members to create a strategic plan that provides a high-quality member experience and positions NAIFA for success through 2025 and beyond

"NAIFA is poised to capitalize on the amazing transformation driven by the NAIFA 20/20 plan over the past several years, and we have assembled the perfect team of industry and association leaders and strategic thinkers to help chart our course for the next five years," said NAIFA CEO Kevin Mayeux. "NAIFA has grown into a nimble, forward-looking and fully modernized professional association. This puts us in the best position to serve the complex needs of our members, the greater community of agents and advisors, the insurance and financial services industry as a whole and the diverse communities of Main Street USA consumers who trust NAIFA members to provide critical financial products, services and guidance."

The committee consists of a cross section of NAIFA members and volunteer leaders as well as thought leaders from NAIFA's corporate and association partners. The group offers a broad range of knowledge and an impressive track record of success in the insurance and financial services industry and association management. Committee members also have a strong understanding of NAIFA members, their practice specialties and their dedication to serving Main Street USA families and small businesses.

"NAIFA is the premier professional association for insurance and financial professionals in the United States, and we have a duty to our members and future members to create a strategic plan that provides a high-quality member experience and positions NAIFA for success through 2025 and beyond," said NAIFA Secretary Larry Holzberg who chairs the committee. "We have assembled a great team to make the most of this opportunity and capitalize on the momentum created by NAIFA 20/20. I am also excited that we will be working with Raybourn Group International, and its President Leslie Murphy and Vice President, Association Strategies Mark McSweeney. Raybourn is a top association management consulting firm that will contribute innovative and results-oriented thinking to our planning process."
