The agreement reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the insurance and financial service profession while expanding opportunities for advisors and brokers in both countries.

NAIFA President-Elect John W. Wheeler, Jr. and Trustee Josh O’Gara attended the Brokers Ireland Financial Broker Conference and signed the trans-Atlantic partnership on February 26 in Enfield, Ireland.

Through the partnership, NAIFA and Brokers Ireland will collaborate on initiatives aimed at strengthening professional education, advancing industry standards, and expanding international engagement for financial professionals in the United States and Ireland.
