Someone you know is a leader. He or she is successful, of course, but also committed to community, family and team. They’re already a great example for their peers. Nominate them for NAIFA-Maryland’s Paul J. Murphy award or Hall of Fame award.
The Paul J. Murphy award is the most prestigious award given by our Chapter. It recognizes long-term and dedicated service to NAIFA, a commitment to education throughout their career, and service within their community.
The Hall of Fame award category recognizes an individual for long-term service and accomplishments on behalf of the life insurance and financial services industries.
The recipients will be honored at the Drive to Success symposium. Award winners will also be featured in the NAIFA-MD blog, and highlighted in the national Advisor Today blog that has over 55,000 subscribers and is published in both chapter and national social media channels.
