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.

Here is proof that your donations have made a difference.

Updating PA Program Business Profiles

Maintaining an accurate business profile on the TMPAA website is a key element for successful networking and business opportunity development among members. Program Administrator profiles have been even more important this year when face-to-face meetings were not possible.

Over the past several weeks, we have been reaching out to all our program administrators to ensure business profiles are up-to-date with all current programs, program types, and keywords for the search function.

Feel free to review your current profile in the member section of the TMPAA website and contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with requested updates.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Please let us know if there is any other way we can support the continuing success of your program business.
