Best Wishes for a Healthy and Profitable 2014  

The TMPAA wraps up 2013 as the premier industry group for Program Administration with 274 Program Administrators, 51 Carrier members and services from over 70 Vendor Partners. The Association will continue to focus on initiatives that generate program business opportunities and foster best practice operations.

  • Apply to have your agency receive a TMPAA Best Practice Designation
  • Use the Association's commercial website, Target Programs, to promote your insurance products
  • Upgrade your website and marketing with assistance from Target Programs Marketing Services (TPMS)
  • Participate in the Marketing Campaign Competition
  • Make plans to attend both the TMPAA Mid Year Meeting and Summit
