DSC_3311b The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors introduced its new president, Robert A. Miller, M.S., M.A., at the 2011 NAIFA Career Conference and Annual Meeting in Washington.
Miller is partner of Miller-Pomerantz Financial in New York, N.Y. NAIFA’s National Council voted him president-elect at NAIFA’s 2010 annual meeting in Seattle.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve an association that has been so important to me and my business and that protects the crucial role of insurance and financial advisors,” Miller said. “In times of economic uncertainty, insurance and financial advisors are more important than ever to the individuals and small businesses who look to them for guidance and security. And in the midst of sweeping health care and financial reform, NAIFA’s work to protect the interests of its members and their clients is indispensible.”
Miller has served on NAIFA’s Board of Trustees since 2005 and on the Executive Committee since 2009. He is a past president of NAIFA-New York and NAIFA-New York City.
“Robert is the right person at the right time to lead NAIFA during this challenging and critical period for our industry, association, and the country,” said outgoing NAIFA President Terry K. Headley, LUTCF, LIC, FSS. “He possesses great insight and judgment and has always been able to make tough decisions and then make those decisions turn out right.”
Headley will remain on the NAIFA Executive Committee as immediate past president.
“Robert is a results-oriented leader and has earned the respect and admiration of the NAIFA Federation, and additionally, has the unique capability to remain strategically-focused,” Headley added. “It has been and continues to be an honor and privilege for me to serve with him.”
Also at the 2011 Conference , the National Council elected John F. Nichols, CLU, DIA, as 2011-2012 NAIFA Secretary. The Council elected new trustees Tom M. Cothron, LUTCF, John S. Holmes, III, LUTCF, and Van B. Land, LUTCF, RFC. Re-elected to continue serving on the board were Brenda D. Doty, LUTCF, and Paul R. Dougherty.
