WASHINGTON (Apr. 25, 2019) — NAFA, the National Association for Fixed Annuities, is pleased to announce that Bailey Sorensen has been promoted to director of membership effective May 1. Having spent nearly nine years with NAFA, she will leverage her institutional knowledge of the association and long-standing relationships across the industry to increase existing engagement, expand the membership benefits available, and recruit new Premier and Supporting Partner members.

“For almost a decade, Bailey has been integral to the growth and evolution of NAFA. In the short time that we’ve been working together, it’s become crystal clear that this promotion will be a win-win for NAFA staff, as well as its current and prospective members.

In the past five years, she took on an increasing level of responsibility in analyzing and improving organizational processes, and overseeing management of the membership database. As operations manager, she assumed the lead role in providing membership support, and working to improve quality, productivity and efficiency within the association.
