Additionally, more than 90% of our 2012 Firm Partners have renewed their membership after our first year. All in all, very good news. Many thanks to all our firm partners for supporting NAPA’s mission. Such a high renewal rate, as well as the addition of these prestigious new members — building on an already prestigious roster of most of the top providers and broker dealers in the DC industry — has stuck a chord. These Firm Partners, along with more than 4,000 individual NAPA members — mostly plan advisors — have created almost overnight a strong association that can effectively present and protect our interests in Washington, as well as a community where we can all learn to work together to improve our businesses and retirement outcomes.
Already the DC industry’s top event, it looks like attendance at this year’s NAPA/ASPPA 401(k) Summit, coming up March 3-5 in Las Vegas, will be the highest ever. Registrations are running ahead of last year’s pace, and there’s still time to register if you haven’t done so yet — but not much. The advance registration deadline is Friday, Feb. 22. Come join us in Las Vegas as we celebrate NAPA’s coming out party!
