Baseball Legend Cal Ripken Jr. Announced as Keynote Speaker for NAILBA Annual Meeting 

Celebrated MLB Hall of Famer to Share Insights on Leadership, Perseverance, and Excellence 

Washington, D. C. (September 4, 2024) – The National Association of Independent Life Brokerage Agencies (NAILBA) is excited to announce legendary Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. as the keynote speaker at the NAILBA Annual Meeting. The event, which will be held November 18-20 in Washington, D.C., is the place for connecting with independent brokerage, senior carrier representatives, and other brokerage leaders and offers unparalleled opportunities for networking, learning, and inspiration. 

Cal Ripken Jr., widely known as “The Iron Man” for his record-breaking streak of 2,632 consecutive games played, is celebrated not only for his remarkable achievements on the baseball field but also for his dedication, work ethic, and leadership. Similarly, recognized for his leadership both on and off the field, Ripken has successfully transitioned from his illustrious baseball career to become a best-selling author, philanthropist, and business leader. 

“Cal Ripken Jr.’s legacy of perseverance and commitment to excellence is an inspiration to professionals all across the globe,” said Dan LaBert, President of Independent Distribution at Finseca. “We are honored to have him join us at this year’s annual meeting to share his experiences and the lessons he has learned throughout his extraordinary career. His message will undoubtedly resonate with our members as they continue to navigate the opportunities and challenges in the independent life insurance brokerage space.” 

The NAILBA Annual Meeting is the premier event for independent life brokerage agencies, attracting top executives, industry leaders, and key decision-makers. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from Ripken and other distinguished speakers, participate in educational sessions, and engage in meaningful discussions on the future of the industry.
