Congress Is Discussing Your Future.
Shouldn't You Be Part of the Conversation?

If you won't speak up for your business and clients, no one else will.

Decisions made in Washington, D.C., greatly impact your business and clients. Yet, most of our lawmakers are not experts in insurance or financial services or how agents and advisors are critical to the financial security of American families and small businesses.

Our Real Life Stories program has helped motivate people to buy insurance for 20+ years. These stories highlight the role insurance has played in helping families and businesses in times of great financial need, along with the insurance professionals who have helped them. None of the people featured in our stories could have anticipated the challenges they’d face. However, smart insurance planning ensured that emotional struggles weren’t compounded by financial hardship.

The NAIFA Quality Award provides advisors at any career stage the opportunity to demonstrate a commitment to excellence. This includes professionalism through education and earned designations, production-measured performance metrics customized for each practice specialty, adherence to the NAIFA code of ethics, and service to your industry association. Advisors specializing in Life & Annuities, Financial Advising & Investments, Health & Employee Benefits, Multiline Sales, or any combination of these specialties have the opportunity to demonstrate the quality that is the mark of a true professional.

NAIFA is proud to announce that Matthew S. Tassey, CLU, ChFC, LUTCF, is the recipient of the 84th annual John Newton Russell Memorial Award. The award is the highest honor accorded by the insurance industry to a living individual who has rendered outstanding services to the institution of life insurance. The selection committee consists of representatives of 11 leading organizations in the life insurance and financial services industry. Tassey will be celebrated and formally presented the award at NAIFA’s Apex 2024, National Leadership Conference, and Belong event Sept. 21 at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix.

Be sure to attend Apex/The NLC/Belong to congratulate Matt and celebrate his achievement!

How many times have you heard it? "The first day of my career, I was handed office forms to fill out, and my NAIFA application."

Persons and business entities subject to regulation by the Bureau of Insurance should be aware of the notification requirements related to cybersecurity events. These requirements are found in two Maine statutes - the Insurance Data Security Act (IDSA) and the Notice of Risk to Personal Data Act (NRPDA).

This page contains information about submitting the forms required under these laws. Before submitting the forms on this page, you should read our Bulletin 468, Maine Law Concerning Cybersecurity Events, and our FAQs related to NRPDA.
