2010 Mid Year Meeting Review
Over 520 Program Business Professionals participated in the 2010 TMPAA Mid Year Meeting featuring a leadership theme kicked off by General Colin Powell (Ret.).
Program Agency Registrations represented 40% of the total attendance and included representatives from 110 Program Administrator/MGA’s
Feedback received directly from the attendees at the meeting was overwhelmingly positive, which was supported by the 150 Meeting evaluations completed after the event.
High points of the meeting were the keynote address from Colin Powell which attracted almost all meeting attendees to the General Session.
The “Social Media†presentation put together by Zurich apparently filled an education need of our members, as that one workshop had close to 200 participants. The presentation from Marty Becker on Wednesday morning was also well received by the group.

TMPAA E&O Risk Retention Captive
At the TMPAA Mid-Year meeting, we introduced an E&O risk retention group designed for TMPAA program administrators.
We understand the kind of E&O risks that program administrators face everyday.
Stable E&O costs – costs that won’t skyrocket in a hard market or when somebody sues your agency – that’s what we all want. An E&O action can get ugly. That’s why the right kind of E&O protection can make or break your agency.
Now it’s time to take the next step . We’re in the middle of forming the core group of founders – those program administrators who get the chance to get in at the beginning. Be a part of the group that takes the first step to really control their claims and defense costs – in a soft market or hard market.
The seminar presentation from the Mid-Year meeting is on the TMPAA website check it out or we can email it to you.
More than 20 of your fellow brokers have already said they want to know more. We can give you more details, answer your questions and help you decide if this new option – designed specifically for the TMPAA member – will work for you.
The Target Markets Insurance Company will be up and running this fall. Help us make this one of the TMPAA’s most valuable initiatives– we’re here to make it work for you.
