On Thursday, August 4, 2022, The Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance held a rulemaking hearing to take up the draft proposal for adoption of the NAIC Annuity Suitability Model. NAIFA-Tennessee member, Matt Benson, CFP, loyal member since 2000, testified on behalf of the agents and advisors of NAIFA-Tennessee. We were honored to represent our members before the Department.

A special shout out and thank you to the NAIFA-Tennessee members that attended this year's Congressional Conference! It was a huge success filled with members coming back together, legislative meetings, and a huge impact made on Capitol Hill. Thank you all for your leadership and service to NAIFA.

NAIFA-Tennessee welcomes new member, Tori Chaulk!

For Tori Chaulk, insurance runs in the family—it just skipped a few generations. Her great-grandmother was an insurance agent with Farm Bureau, and she was fascinated by it when she was growing up. So, when she graduated from the University of Tennessee, she decided to give it a try. 

NAIFA-Tennessee's 2022 Legislative Day was a HUGE success! NAIFA members gathered in person in Nashville on April 5th for a day of education, networking, and advocacy.

Over 40 NAIFA-TN members were joined by several legislators, including House Speaker Cameron Sexton, Speaker Pro Tempore Pat Marsh, Assistant House Majority Leader Ron Gant, Chairman David Hawk, and Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson. After hearing from our lawmakers, attendees met with their individual legislators.

Thank you to all who showed up to represent our clients, our businesses, and our industry! 

You've gotten our emails, you've seen our social media posts. But you still haven't registered to attend the NAIFA-Tennesee Legislative Day, followed by the Sales Summit. So we've broken down the top 10 reasons to be in Nashville April 5-6.

NAIFA state legislative days provide great opportunities for insurance and financial professionals to share with lawmakers their expertise and understanding of how laws impact Main Street consumers. Insurance is a state-regulated industry and NAIFA works tirelessly to ensure the industry is being protected. No one tells the Main Street stories about the financial concerns, challenges, and triumphs of families and businesses as well as NAIFA members. These are stories that lawmakers want to hear.

Come to Nashville for Legislative Day, stay for the Sales Summit. Join NAIFA-Tennessee on April 5th for our Legislative Day and April 6th for the Sales Summit. We have a fantastic speaker lineup and we are looking forward to naming the NAIFA-Tennessee YAT Leader of the Year during our awards lunch. What can you expect during the Sales Summit?

Join us in person on April 5, 2022, as we return to our state house to advocate for our businesses and the clients we serve. This year's event will include a half-day program, including individual meetings with members of the Tennessee General Assembly.
