NAIFA's Congressional Conference is our signature grassroots advocacy event. Each year, we visit the nation's capitol to advocate for our clients, communities, and country. 

NAIFA’s annual Congressional Conference is crucial to our grassroots advocacy strategy. The event brings NAIFA members together as a critical mass to advocate on behalf of their businesses, clients, consumers, and the insurance and financial services industry. It provides targeted advocacy training with briefings on specific legislative issues, best practices for conducting congressional meetings, and tips for developing impactful long-term relationships with legislators.

NAIFA-Texas Board of Directors Member, Ian Escalante shared "Another successful Congressional Conference and Day on the Hill…advocating for insurance agents and financial advisors nationwide" following his experience traveling to Washington DC with his fellow NAIFA-Texas members.
