I'm Marc Bregman, Secretary of the NAIFA California board, and in this monthly blog message, I'll talk about my board focus -- programs and member benefits.

NAIFA California offers a great variety of programming each year.  Our premiere event, the CAC, is slated for IN PERSON in San Diego in September, and we are so excited for the opportunity to meet our fellow members face-to-face and hear some great speakers.  We hosted the first of this year's virtual Roadshow events in February, where Tom Hegna spoke to a full Zoom house.  Registration for the next Road Show, scheduled for June 8th and featuring Van Mueller, is open.  There is also a wide variety of programming going on at the local level, besides.  See https://ca.naifa.org/events for full details on all of NAIFA California programs.

NAIFA's member benefits are too numerous to adequately address in a single blog (check out https://belong.naifa.org for a full list), so I'll focus on one nearest to my heart for a number of reasons, the Leadership in Life Institute (LILI).

The Leadership in Life Institute (LILI), NAIFA’s signature leadership development course, began in 2000 when the first classes were held in California and Texas. In the years that followed, nearly 260 classes have been completed with 48 states participating. The LILI family has grown to include 2,200 alumni. The program’s success is highly visible in the leadership ranks of NAIFA as graduates fulfill their service commitment and help LILI meet its mission of developing high-quality leaders for the entire federation.

I graduated LILI in 2003, and the difference in my work life, NAIFA life and personal life is remarkable.  At work, my production tripled to Court of the Table Production.  As a volunteer in NAIFA California, LILI taught me how to give back more than I take in my personal life, LILI to balance Home and Business Life.

So, think about taking LILI and make sure you're taking advantage of all the benefits already included in your membership.  Reach out and ask questions about LILI!   LILI 2022 is YOUR year!
