Each year, the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors – North Dakota (NAIFA–North Dakota) recognizes a member who exemplifies the very best of our profession. This distinguished honor celebrates an advisor who has demonstrated excellence in their practice, made meaningful contributions to their local affiliate and state association, actively served their community, and dedicated a significant portion of their career to the insurance and financial services industry.

At the 2023 NAIFA–North Dakota Success Summit, the association proudly renamed its most prestigious honor—the Advisor of the Year Award—to the Lindsey N. Vogel Advisor of the Year Award in tribute to Lindsey’s remarkable legacy.

Lindsey was a devoted NAIFA member who served at both the local and state levels, and she regularly participated in Congressional Conferences and Performance + Purpose conferences. As a proud third-generation leader within NAIFA–North Dakota, she carried forward a deep commitment to advocacy, professional development, and service.

Although Lindsey’s life was tragically cut short, her impact on our association and our profession endures. Her leadership, dedication, and passion continue to inspire advisors across North Dakota, and this award stands as a lasting reminder of the standard of excellence she embodied.

Nominations are now open for the 2026 Lindsey N. Vogel Advisor of the Year and will remain open until March 31st.
