This year, nearly 225 NAIFA members attended NAIFA's Leadership in Life Institute (LILI) courses which brought the number of LILI graduates to over 2,000 nationally since the program began 11 years ago.

LILI classes are exclusively for NAIFA members and meet one-day a month for 6 months. LILI can provide the tools needed to move a business to the next level. Graduates return to their practices after crafting their own vision, mission statements and business plans to guide them toward success.

Nine NAIFA-Texas Board of Directors are LILI graduates: President Stephen Ehlers, President-Elect Doug Massey, Secretary-Treasurer Joey Ussery, Immediate Past President Cylinda Clark and Trustees Jason Talley, Lane Boozer, Stella Castaneda, Michael Kennedy and Eddie Tate.
