NAAA Fires Back at Alliance Disaffiliation

Following the American Agents Alliance’s recent announcement that the organization was disaffiliating from the National Auto Agents Alliance, NAAA Past President Mark Schmoekel sent out a letter to California agents expressing his “disappointment” with the Alliance’s actions.

“I am also ashamed and embarrassed by the manner in which the American Agents Alliance announced this to our fellow members: in an unkind ‘hit’ piece published in the most recent Management Memo. How can it do any organization any good to trash another organization with similar goals?”

Schmoekel also gave his resignation as an Alliance board member, expressing his belief that the Alliance “lacks the leadership it once had and, sadly, is no longer a member-driven organization.”

He encouraged agents to join NAAA on an individual basis, saying it was “alive, well and growing.”
