The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) is pleased to announce that NAIFA’s Dallas Chapter has achieved the association’s Bronze Chapter Excellence Award. NAIFA Dallas is one of 9 Local Chapters to achieve a 2024 Chapter Excellence Award.

NAIFA established the Chapter Excellence Award in 2023 to recognize the success of those Chapters that have excelled in providing a quality member experience to their members and achieved organizational excellence.

The Gold Award indicates that NAIFA Dallas is in full compliance with its Chapter Agreement and has met Chapter Health Rating and membership benchmarks through August 31.

"Congratulations on qualifying for the NAIFA Chapter Excellence Award," said NAIFA President Tom Cothron, LUTCF, FSCP. "The experiences our members gain at the Chapter level play a crucial role in shaping their perception of our association. It is a great pleasure to recognize your leaders, members, and executive team for their contributions in making the Chapter experience a success. Your efforts are vital to our continued success."

NAIFA Dallas will be recognized for its achievement at the Apex/National Leadership Conference and Belong Awards Celebration, September 19-21, 2024, in Phoenix, Arizona.

ABOUT NAIFA: Founded in 1890, the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors is the preeminent association for financial service professionals in the United States of America. NAIFA members, in every Congressional district and every state house, subscribe to a strong Code of Ethics and represent a full spectrum of practice specialties to promote financial security for all Americans. Complimented by its professional development and consumer divisions, the Society of Financial Service Professionals and Life Happens, the association delivers value through advocacy, service, and education.

When Joshua Ruble graduated from college, he didn’t plan on a career in insurance. However, when a friend suggested a Risk Management Advisor role in Dallas, he quickly took the opportunity and relocated from Oregon.

As a Risk Management Advisor at C1 Insurance Group, Ruble works primarily with high-net-worth families insuring their homes, autos, valuables, and more. He enjoys building relationships with his clients and educating them on the risks they face and consulting on how to best prepare for those disasters. One experience that stood out to him in particular came during a winter freeze. He insured a family’s home with extensive water damage protection through one of his premier carriers. Following the freeze, the home sustained extreme water damage. Not only was the damage repaired to the extent of $750,000, but all the work was completed in six months. Ruble’s client expressed his gratitude, saying, “Your service, responsiveness, and the way you keep your customers updated is truly on a different level than others.”

As a NAIFA member, Ruble is excited to network with and learn from other industry professionals. “I want to be more well-rounded in my knowledge of my industry, as well as others that will best serve my clients,” he says. 

Outside of the office, Ruble enjoys spending time with his wife and 2-year-old daughter. He appreciates the opportunity his career gives him to provide for and spend time with his family. His daughter loves animals, so the family visits zoos and museums often. Ruble is also an avid sports fan, loves hosting gatherings of friends, and stays involved in his community through his church and his daughter’s school. 

Thank you, Joshua, for your hard work and dedication. We look forward to a bright future in the association for you and are #NAIFAproud to call you one of our own.
