SAN DIEGO, CA (September 8, 2008) — The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) and Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) have partnered to offer NAIFA state and local associations ready access to the newly launched, online MDRT Speakers Bureau.
The MDRT Speakers Bureau is comprised of well-respected MDRT member speakers who have been carefully screened to ensure that they represent the highest caliber of MDRT talent and expertise. Topics on which they speak include business succession, estate planning, long-term care, marketing and motivation. Leveraging the use of online technology, local and state leaders can readily search the MDRT database by speaker name, topic, or geographic location to identify the best fit for their needs. There is no speaker fee for this program, but an honorarium to the MDRT Foundation in the speaker’s name is requested.
“60,000 members are increasingly turning to NAIFA to help them make vital connections in the industry,” comments NAIFA President Jeff Taggart, CLU, ChFC, LUTCF. “We are excited by this new partnership that brings quality programming to local and state association events and that serves our membership by providing them with insights from some of the top experts in our industry.
“MDRT is comprised of the world’s leading financial services professionals, and the MDRT Speakers Bureau is the best resource to find an MDRT member speaker,” said MDRT President Walton W. Rogers, CLU, ChFC, of Annapolis, Maryland. “It is our hope that the MDRT Speakers Bureau will bring high-quality speakers to NAIFA association events, and we are honored to partner with NAIFA to bring this service to local and state associations.”
