NAILBA Chairman Identified as One of the 100 Most Powerful People in Insurance Industry

(Fairfax, Va.) John W. Felton, IV, 2007 Chairman of the National Association of Independent Life Brokerage Agencies (NAILBA) has been named to the InsuranceBroadcasting.com annual list of the 100 most powerful people in the insurance industry (North America). 

Felton was named to the sixth annual list, developed by InsuranceBroadcasting.com, in conjunction with the Insurance Media Association.  This list, tagged the insurance industry “Dream Team”, is comprised of the people who have the most resources available to them and who would have the most ability (as a group) to successfully accomplish any goal or directive of the insurance industry.

“I am humbled to be included on a list with so many truly important people,” stated Felton.  “NAILBA’s inclusion not only amplifies the importance of the brokerage distribution channel in the selling of life and health insurance, it certifies NAILBA’s value in supporting and promoting the wholesale life brokerage industry.”

InsuranceBroadcasting.com used the following methodology to support their choices.

• The person with the most power is the person at the top of the organization.
• Power is diverse.
• Power controls or influences resources.
• The list is weighted by current control of power.

“Having my nameincluded in this list is testament of what NAILBA has been able to accomplish in our short 26 year history,” stated Felton.
