OCTOBER 8th 11:30-1:30
NABIP-FW – Bloodys, Benefits, Brunch & Giving Back

Brokers, you’ve been hustling hard and the 4th Quarter AEP crunch is officially here—time to treat yourself!

Join NABIP-FW for our Bloodys, Benefits & Brunch, where we’ll swap stress for mimosas, strategy for Bloody Marys, and deadlines for good company.

🥫 Let’s also give back while we gather!
We’ll be collecting non-perishable food items for the Community Food Bank (Pantry Staples: Canned proteins, pasta, rice, and cereal), and we’re asking all attendees to bring an item (or two!) to donate. Together, we can enjoy some well-deserved time to connect while helping support families in our community.

You’ve earned it—because nothing pairs better with AEP than a well-deserved Bloody, great company, and giving back! ❤️
Register today and secure your spot—we look forward to seeing you there! 💼🌟

What a fantastic August meeting for NABIP Fort Worth! 👏⭐

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible panel for an informative and engaging discussion on “What You Should Know in 2027 – Legislatively Speaking.”

Our experts broke down the federal and Texas legislation impacting healthcare and gave us valuable insight into what benefit professionals and our clients need to be prepared for heading into 2027.

👏 John Ross Hopkins – ACA Individual Expert, The Brokerage Inc.
👏 Shannon Meroney – Texas Lobbyist, NABIP-TX
👏 Mike Meroney – Texas Lobbyist, NABIP-TX
👏 Cyndi Stubbs – Medicare Expert, President NABIP-TX
🎤 Audra Sullivan – Moderator & Fort Worth Legislative Chair

We covered everything from ACA updates and Medicare changes to legislative priorities, the 2027 Texas health insurance climate, and what NABIP-TX is doing on behalf of our industry.

Thank you to our panelists for sharing your expertise, and a special thank you to our sponsors, members and guests who joined us at Lone Star Park!

And, of course, we loved keeping the conversations going afterward with networking at Bar & Book! 🍹
