Vision & Mission
The mission of AHIA is to provide advocacy, services, and education to professional advisors in order to support a private, competitive health care insurance marketplace.
AHIA members are NAIFA Federation members actively involved in the sale of group and individual health related products including disability, long-term care, critical illness, Medicare supplement insurance and worksite products.
In September 1990, the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) National Council and its Board of Trustees voted to create AHIA to provide an organizational and professional focus within the NAIFA Federation. AHIA was formed as the health conference of NAIFA.
This association is for agents and advisors marketing a broad variety of health oriented insurance products. AHIA takes a lead role in implementing legislative policy at the federal level and with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. AHIA also assists NAIFA in formulating legislative policy impacting health products and services. On the state level, AHIA provides advice and counsel on health insurance related issues to state associations.
As a NAIFA conference, AHIA has its own Board of Directors, budget and staff. The Board of Directors consists of an immediate past president, president, president-elect, secretary-treasurer, two directors, a YAT liaison, an AHIA Executive liaison, and a liaison from the NAIFA Board of Trustees. This all-volunteer group is comprised of member advisors across the nation and is responsible for the activities of AHIA.
AHIA works through NAIFA's more than 750 local and state associations to provide services to its members in the areas of legislation, professional development and educational programming.
