Life Insurance Finance Association Expands Membership to Insurance Producers

The Life Insurance Finance Association (LIFA) board of directors voted today to open its membership to insurance producers, agents and financial advisors.
Under the revised dues structure, professionals involved in the sale of life insurance and who act as advisors to consumers who purchase life insurance are invited to join the growing membership of the association.

“The future of the life insurance premium finance industry directly impacts the careers of these professionals,” said Scott Cipinko, executive director, LIFA. “The voices of these professionals need to be heard. Without them, we cannot properly discuss the role and future of this industry. Life insurance premium finance is a vital tool for financial and estate planning. Those involved in assisting and advising consumers on such an important purchase must have this tool available to them.”

Cipinko, who holds a life insurance producer’s license in a number of states, added that the best way to ensure this tool is available to the consumer is to bring the professionals that utilize life insurance premium finance into the discussions directly and not through third parties or intermediaries, most of whom have never sold a life insurance policy.
“It is time for the producers, agents and professional advisors to speak directly to these issues,” said Cipinko.

In addition, LIFA will soon be announcing enhanced membership benefits, including conference discounts, seminars and a series of conference calls exclusive to members.
