NAIFA, ITN Productions to collaborate on news-style program

In a unique communications partnership, the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) and international award-winning ITN Productions will produce a news and current affairs-style program investigating the essential role of financial advisors in helping individuals, families and businesses navigate complex financial choices to achieve their dreams and secure their future.

"Planning Your Future" will be an in-depth, online program featuring interviews, news items, and sponsored editorial profiles of leaders and key organizations. Drawing upon ITN’s 60-year heritage and expertise in news gathering and storytelling, the program aims to communicate the important role that the financial advisor community plays to secure America’s financial future.

“NAIFA members work in communities all across the United States with Main Street clients to help them reach financial goals and protect their families from life’s inevitable risks and uncertainties.” said NAIFA CEO Kevin Mayeux, CAE.

Carroll Golden, Director of the NAIFA's Center for Excellence added, "The role that agents and advisors who distribute the many options and solutions dealing with the risks and uncertainties of needing short, extended or long term care is crucial to the well-being of consumers. In this case, well being covers not only their health needs but also the financial and family relationships that are swept up into the events. NAIFA's new Center for Excellence will provide financial planners with an all inclusive resource to gather information, link or develop a relationship with experts in the many varied care options.

Greg Melia, CAE, Vice President of Program Development for Industry News USA, said “We are thrilled to be partnering with the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors to spotlight the financial security and success that can be achieved in consultation with a professional financial planner.”
