 Profiles in Programs

Jim O’Connell, Principal & Director – MMA Programs, a division of Marsh & McLennan Insurance Agency Member since 2002

"The relationships with insurance leaders and service providers that I have made through Target Markets have defined and fostered the success of my career in program insurance. The Target University Courses I passed to earn the Certified Programs Leader designation have been the most useful learning experiences, and the meetings are without equal for connecting with other program professionals. For me, Target Markets is the place where program opportunities become reality."
