NAIFA-Clarksville

Today, we lost a great advocate for Montgomery County! Jeff always made himself available to discuss the needs of our community, clients and industry. He will be missed dearly— praying for his family during this time 💙

We are saddened by the news that Jeff Burkhart, a Leadership Clarksville Class of 2010 alum, passed away. His kindness, steady presence, and commitment to our community touched many of us. We are keeping his family and friends in our thoughts during this difficult time.

Great day to be a NAIFA Member!! 🔹

🎤 Special thanks to an awesome presentation from Farm Bureau VP of Development, Chris Harvey.

It was a great pleasure to host our local legislators, Mayor Joe Pitts, Jeff Burkhart; and Congress District 7 Candidates, Matt Van Epps & Joe Leurs. We were also so proud to host seven finance students from Austin Peay!

Delicious food—comradery, advocacy & motivation, that’s what it’s all about ✨

We even had a visit from our state President, Joe Easley who pinned eight new members having joined this year. We are growing & there’s no better time to join the movement!

What is Legislative Risk?

Legislative Risk in the insurance and financial services industry is something we all need to be aware of, as it can significantly affect how insurance companies operate. For both prospective and existing NAIFA members, this means:

1. **Policy Adjustments**: Changes in laws may require us to modify existing insurance policies, impacting coverage options, pricing, and claims processes.

2. **Navigating Compliance**: We may need to invest time and resources to understand and comply with new regulations, which could challenge our ability to effectively serve our clients.

3. **Market Availability**: Stricter or frequently changing regulations might limit the insurance products we can offer, reducing choices for our clients.

4. **Consumer Protections**: On the positive side, some regulations are aimed at safeguarding consumers, ensuring fair practices and transparency in our industry, which ultimately benefits our clients.

By staying connected through NAIFA, we can better protect ourselves and our clients against these legislative risks. Membership provides us with valuable resources and insights to navigate these challenges effectively, ensuring we continue to deliver the best service possible.

💪 Let's work together to safeguard our businesses and support our clients!

NAIFA’s Congressional Conference is officially underway! NAIFA President Doug Massey welcomed hundreds of financial professionals from across the country to Washington as they prepare to meet with lawmakers on Capitol Hill. With Congress in session and major tax reform on the horizon, NAIFA’s timing couldn’t be better. Our members are on the ground at exactly the right moment to make an impact.
