Please hold the date for the 2021 Mid-Year Meeting at the Marriott Tampa Water Street. It is our intention to hold an in-person meeting May 3-5, 2021 with all required safety precautions in place. Registration for the event will begin in January. As with our two previous meetings, should conditions force us to cancel, we will move swiftly to refund all registrations.
Thank You for Your Support We would like to recognize the generosity of TMPAA members and friends who donated over $20,000 this year to TMPAA Charities. With the matching contribution from Breckenridge Group of $15,000, we were able to compensate for the cancellation of our fundraising golf tournament in October and uphold our commitments to fund multiple scholarships at three universities with Insurance & Risk Management programs. We were also able to continue supporting our packages from home initiative, delivering care packages to U.S. active duty military around the world.
