AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- NAIFA-Texas, in collaboration with FindBob, today announced the launch of Connex, a new digital tool to help NAIFA-Texas members address both growth and perpetuation goals.
"We're thrilled to provide NAIFA-Texas members with the Connex platform powered by FindBob," said David Farabee, President of NAIFA-Texas.

"We couldn't be prouder to be working with the exceptional team at NAIFA-Texas. They recognize how important the issue is not only for member agents and advisors, but for consumers as well."
NAIFA-Texas members can sign up for the Connex system and provide information on their practice.

The Connex marketplace comes complete with networking and sophisticated M&A features that allow members to discover opportunities within their membership and negotiate both safely and securely.
"Not planning for the future of their practice isn't just an advisor issue, it's a Main Street USA issue," says Farabee. "Encouraging better practices around transition is imperative to the future of the advisor industry. The Connex platform is an exclusive NAIFA-Texas member offering that will support those advisors who continuously strive to improve their business and will help prepare those who may eventually want to transition to a next generation advisor".
