GAMA International Canada (GAMA)

Description

GAMA International Canada's roots go back to 1974, when the Life Insurance Managers Association of Canada (LIMAC) was born. At that time, the costs of running the association were shared by a group of managers until revenue flowed from membership fees and other sources. Throughout the past 30 years, membership in the association has evolved to include not just life insurance managers, but leaders within all segments of financial services. Most recently known as The Managers Association of Financial Advisors of Canada (MAFAC), the association was renamed GAMA International Canada in October 2002 to reflect the strategic alignment with GAMA International in the United States. GAMA International Canada continues to operate as an independent Canadian association and as a conference of TFAAC / Advocis.
