2021 Impact Week:
November 1st - 5th

5 Days Focused on Industry Trends and How You Can Navigate the Options for Your Clients 

Join Us for the Power Hour Series

I.M. Pei stated, “Success is a collection of problems solved.”

We are hearing phrases like: “sandwich generation impact,” “product innovation,” “retirement impact,” “rising health care costs,” “technology transformation,” “legislation, and "regulation,” etc. Every American is impacted in some way by extended or long-term care needs.

Small and large towns, cities, and counties alike are looking to you for information and help. During Impact Week we will cover a broad range of topics that speak to current successes; emerging issues; leveraging technology; and customer communications across acquisition, onboarding, and service. 

Where do we see it growing, stalling? Where do we see opportunities for success?

Amplifying Your advocacy Voice
Diane Boyle, SVP of Government Relations, NAIFA
Educating legislators and regulators helps limit the risk to your business and your customers from legislative and regulatory actions and helps expand business opportunities. NAIFA effectively targets federal and state policymakers as well as outside influencers to build long-term relationships. Learn how to leverage the LTC Working Group survey results to educate policymakers. Amplifying your voice makes it harder for Congress and other lawmaking bodies to ignore the issues you care about.

Executive Leadership Roundtable

The extended and long-term care industry has experienced a couple of back-to-back unprecedented years. Staying the course while creating and adapting to innovation takes commitment and dedicated resources. Join us as we discuss these challenges and other important issues with leaders of major insurers that managed both. The discussion will include the development of state and federal programs and the necessity of making sure they are designed to partner with industry and be sustainable long-term. We will look at the array of solutions available to address LTC financing needs and how that can help you grow your business and best serve consumers.
