We emphasize:
Originally named the Florida Association of Life Underwriters (FALU), FAIFA changed to its new name in 1999.
FAIFA is headquartered in Tallahassee and is made up of 31 local associations with a total paid membership of nearly 4,000 insurance advisors. We are the 18th largest business & professional association by membership in Florida (see Florida Trend magazine's 2005 Annual TopRank Florida Book of Lists - free registration required)
We are a members-only association and prospective members can join FAIFA through one of our 31 local associations (chapters) all of which are affiliated with FAIFA and the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA).
Members vow to adhere to the association's Code of Ethics and are encouraged to become informed on legislative, regulatory and industry issues. FAIFA Lobbyist Tim Meenan represents insurance and financial advisors before the Florida Legislature and the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS). Our political action committee (FAIFAPAC) is vital to our strength as a professional association.
Enhancing the reputation of advisors and providing quality professional development opportunities are also priorities for the association.
Membership benefits at the local, state, and national levels are numerous and include:
