In 1998, the Leadership Development Task Force was appointed by 1998-99 NAIFA President, Larry Lambert to address the lack of qualified leaders to envision, plan and execute the objectives of the federation. The Task Force, chaired by 2009-10 NAIFA President and Texas member, Tom Curry, begins work on a leadership development curriculum to be administered by NAIFA state associations.
California and Texas were the first states to hold LILI classes in 2000. Fourteen students (7 from each state) were the first LILI graduates.
NAIFA-Texas is proud of our LILI Alumni.
