The First Word
When you join NAFA, you’re not just making a purchase or consuming something, as you would by, say, subscribing to a magazine or attending a sponsored conference. When you join NAFA, you become part of something. Something bigger than yourself, where, as the saying goes, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. When you join NAFA, you are making a statement that you care about your profession and want to make it better. In short, you’re not just a consumer, you’re part of the fabric of the organization.
