WALNUT CREEK, Calif., October 28, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Baystate Financial, a general agency of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance company (MassMutual), and the International Association of Fire Fighters-Financial Corporation (IAFF-FC) announced a Wealth Management Initiative, whereas IAFF members will have direct access to insurance, investments, financial planning, and financial education through Baystate Financial and some other MassMutual firms located nationally. IAFF members will receive personalized attention and accessibility to financial services and a financial education curriculum.

With over 331,000 members across the United States and Canada, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) is the country's largest organization of professional fire fighters, paramedics, and emergency services personnel.
