PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Chane Reagan
If you are like most of us, you never slow down long enough to appreciate why we do
what we do. I encourage you to sit back and appreciate your surroundings. It is not often
enough that we evaluate our lives and more importantly, evaluate what we do with our
time. I also encourage you to think about the role that NAIFA plays in allowing this to
happen.
Right now it is 3:30pm on Sunday July 11th, and I am in “The Happiest Place in The
World”. I’m at Disney World!! After two days of fun, we are taking a little break so we
can gear up for a late afternoon, experiencing everything this great place has to offer. My
family has just gone back to the room for an afternoon nap, and I am sitting in the lobby
of the Grand Floridian Hotel listening to a classical pianist playing an assortment of songs
that just adds to the experience of being at “The Happiest Place in The World”.
For some of us, we just have too much work to do, and for others, we are too tired to enjoy the fruits of our labor. But for
all of us, we should have time to celebrate and even appreciate what we have worked so hard to have. Today I am doing just
this. I am thankful for my life and for the opportunity I have been given to serve others as a financial advisor and an insurance
agent. With the opportunities this business has given me, I am able to spend time away with my family. I encourage you to
do the same, and remember to evaluate why you do what you do and do it with the highest of professional standards. Are
you doing what it takes to be the best at what you do?
NAIFA’s Preamble
Those engaged in offering insurance and other related financial services occupy the unique position of liaison between the
purchasers and the suppliers of insurance and closely related financial products. Inherent in this role is the combination of
professional duty to the client and to the company as well. Ethical balance is required to avoid any conflict between these
two obligations.
Therefore, I Believe It To Be My Responsibility:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
To hold my profession in high esteem and strive to enhance its prestige.
To fulfill the needs of my clients to the best of my ability.
To maintain my clients' confidences.
To render exemplary service to my clients and their beneficiaries.
To adhere to professional standards of conduct in helping my clients to protect insurable obligations
and attain their financial security objectives.
To present accurately and honestly all facts essential to my clients' decisions.
To perfect my skills and increase my knowledge through continuing education.
To conduct my business in such a way that my example might help raise the professional
standards of those in my profession.
To keep informed with respect to applicable laws and regulations and to observe them in the
practice of my profession.
To cooperate with others whose services are constructively related to meeting the needs of my clients
NAIFA keeps you in business!

MEMBERSHIP CORNER
I hope you are having a wonderful and safe summer. I would like to communicate and educate
you on the tools and opportunities that NAIFA provides to you as a member. Honestly, I did
not know about all the available information on the www.naifa.org website until I began
serving on the board. To borrow a phrase from our friends at MasterCard, the information
and benefits are “priceless”.
NAIFA provides programs that will help you stay in business. One such feature is the NAIFA
online seminar series. These video series are part of NAIFA’s Professional Development
Program that feature training and information on various topics important to running your
business and enhancing your success, including practice management, sales, marketing and
prospecting, each with specific content for every career stage. Downloadable print materials
and resources for your use further enhance these programs.
Some of the current webinars available for your use are:
• Perfect Storms Rage On: Federal and State Legislative and Regulatory Issues Update
• “The 7 Principles of Marketing You!”
• New Health Insurance Law–What It Means for You and Your Clients
The current printed material for your use includes:
• New National Health Insurance Law – What It Means For You & Your Clients, (FAQ and Timeline)
• 5 Things Your Client Needs to Know for 2010
• IRS FAQs on Small Business Health Care Tax Credit
Take advantage of the monthly Advisor today publication. This is delivered monthly and can be quickly accessed on line as
well. In our attempts to do more in less time, (and for you Boomers and Gen Xer’s who are trying to be more Gen Y), you can
access specific article podcasts and listen to them at your office or in your car on the way to your next appointment. Simply
visit www.advisortoday.com, click the Advisory Today Podcast Series icon and start listening to tips and techniques you
can use to manage your time and enhance the financial performance of your practice.
NAIFA is your partner in helping to navigate regulations and legislation that affect your business and in providing you with
education and training to help you grow as an individual and a business.
Now More Than Ever!

The Foundation News
Dear Members:
The NAIFA Houston Foundation had an especially difficult time evaluating applications
for funds this summer, as we received significantly more requests than in previous
years. After careful consideration of all requests, the board is pleased to report that
we have selected the following charities to receive donations resulting from “A Taste
of MDRT” 2010:
$2,000 MDRT Foundation
$1,000 Bo’s Place
$2,000 Boys & Girls Harbor, Inc
$1,000 Kid’s Meals, Inc
$2,000 Heroes for Children
--------$8,000 Total Donation
Our contribution to local charities will have impact and meaning, and will focus on the needs of children.
It is good to give as a profession, and our gifts represent the kind and caring citizenship that our industry
is comprised of.
Without YOU, this would not have been possible. Thank you for your support.

Dear NAIFA Houston Members,
If you know anyone on this list *, please encourage them to renew their professional affiliation today. We are sure it was just an oversight on
their part, but our profession suffers greatly when ALL of us don't support it. Please have them contact Ellie Kennedy at 713-526-5331
to reinstate their membership.
Thank you.
