You’re part of something special.
Not just because you’re in the business of helping Americans prepare for a successful retirement (though that’s also special), not just because you make a difference in the people’s lives (though there’s that) – not even because you’ve stopped here long enough to read what I have to say (though that makes you very special to me).
You’re special because you are (probably) a member of the National Association of Plan Advisors.
Most of you know that – know that you are a member of this association, and know why that matters. But there are some of you who don’t know, or aren’t sure of that connection. And that’s a shame.
Many of you enjoy that membership through the generous support of our NAPA Firm Partners. And while that may mean you aren’t as aware of the benefits of that membership, because of that membership you get discounts to all those marvelous NAPA events, including ones – like the NAPA DC Fly-In Forum – that are open only to NAPA members. Only NAPA members have the opportunity to be acknowledged in our Top Young Advisor and Top Women Advisors – and only NAPA members get a subscription to NAPA Net the Magazine.
See, NAPA is more than just a sponsor of the nation’s most outstanding events for retirement plan advisors – even though that includes everything from one-of-a-kind gatherings like our DC Fly-In Forum to innovative concepts like the Women in Retirement Conference (WiRC) and new Nonqualified Plan Advisor Conference to the nation’s premier retirement advisor event – the only national conference developed by retirement plan advisors for retirement plan advisors: the NAPA 401(k) Summit.
We’re more than the purveyor of impactful industry credentials like the NAPA Certified Plan Fiduciary Advisor and Nonqualified Plan Advisor Certificate… more than the developer and publisher of the nation’s most widely read retirement advisor publications to guide, inform and enhance your business and business practices – and yes, we’re even more than the nation’s only advocacy group exclusively focused on the issues that matter to retirement plan advisors.
But the real value of NAPA membership – and it’s what brought me to join the organization some five years ago – is the impact this organization, and our sister organizations in the American Retirement Association – have on retirement policy and regulation – not just on Capitol Hill, but increasingly in state capitals across the country.
You don’t have to be a member to benefit from that impact, of course. But as an advisor working with retirement plans these days, why would you want to miss out on being part of that – on having a voice, on making an impact – on being an active member of the fastest-growing member association in the retirement planning industry – and the only advocacy group exclusively focused on the issues that matter to retirement plan advisors.
You’re part of something special. Make it count.
Oh – and there’s no time like the present to act on that commitment – register today for the 2020 NAPA 401(k) Summit. You can’t afford to miss it. Join us.
