President’s address…
Dear NAIFA Members:
President 2026
While our voice is still strong, the past decade has taken its toll on membership. NAIFA remains our only lifeline to impact regulatory decisions. Yet, the burden of responsibility is falling on fewer members. The benefits of being a member seem to have gotten lost among the myriads of choices that we can make. No other organization, other than NAIFA, does more to protect and safeguard our career and the benefits that our products and services provide to our clients. I am proud to say that I have been a member for over 40 years. It amazes me when I speak with those in our business today that say that they have never heard of NAIFA.
I still believe that the best way to influence people is through action and conversation. Your action, being a member, speaks volumes. Now, we need to let someone else know. We can no longer afford to have membership be a well-kept secret. Our arms are getting tired of carrying the water bucket of non-members to the fire. Everyone that is a part of this Industry needs to carry his/her fair share, and we need to let them know that. Our strength remains in members, and your Association appreciates your loyalty. Let those that you meet in our Industry, that are not members, know how important it is that they join.
Even though the years ahead will present new challenges, one thing will remain certain: NAIFA will continue to be your voice in how those challenges will be met!
I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to all of you for your membership. I especially would like to thank the many volunteers who have given their time freely to serve the needs of this Association. Finally, a special thank you to Patty, and all the State Board Members, for both their friendship and relentless pursuit of excellence. My life has truly been blessed by this Industry and all of you who have been with me along the way.
Wishing you continued success in 2026!
Sincerely,
David R. Kroll, CLU, ChFC, LUTCF
