2020 is already positioned to be a record-breaking year for NAILBA, coming off the heels of
the association’s successful annual gathering of independent brokers and brokerage agencies.
The 2020 Board and I are excited to continue the momentum
from last year and NAILBA 38, which brought together more
than 840 independent brokers, brokerage agencies principals
and leadership, insurance and financial services carrier C-suite
executives, trade professionals, and industry supporting
businesses. The event debuted our first CEO panel discussion as
a part of NAILBA’s Thought Leadership and Business Practices
Initiative, a panel inspired by notable keynote speakers, Jim Kelly,
legendary NFL player, and John Kelly, former White House Chief of
Staff, among many others.

We anticipate 2020, to be another year of successful firsts for
the association. The vested leadership team and the organization
have positioned NAILBA to be on a trajectory towards noteworthy
accomplishments that further our support of the market through
educational resources, market tools, and community involvement.
As a young boy growing up in the insurance business, I learned
the value of life insurance from my father and saw the lifesaving
impact this vital field of work delivers. This respect and passion for
the industry is embodied by the 2020 Board as we work to ensure
your business success.
