Join Diane Boyle, Senior Vice President, Government Relations at the National Association of Insurance and Financial Professionals, (NAIFA), for an update and insider insights into how active advocacy in our industry can not only lead to better policy outcomes but also enhance your professional reputation.

Discussion will include:

• How regulations are advancing rapidly, with a notable underappreciation by regulators of the value financial advisor services offer, including areas of fiduciary duty, work classification, and Medicare rules.
• Why financial advisors should anticipate significant discussions around tax policy, as $3.3 trillion in tax reductions are set to expire in 2025, positioning us at the center of what is being described as the 'Super Bowl of Tax Reform.'
• How the composition of Congress is subject to rapid change, with nearly a 10% turnover before the casting of the first vote, known colloquially as the 'Congressional Casualty List.'
• Why proactive engagement in policy-making can positively influence legislation and contribute to the growth of financial advisors business."

Webinar link will be emailed with your registration confirmation.
