Corporate Photos Available
at Mid Year Meeting

A good corporate photo has become an increasingly important part of insurance media (like it or not). A professionally done photo is an important representation of you and your business.

The TMPAA has made arrangements to have a professional photographer at the Mid Year Meeting to take a corporate headshot for print media, websites, LinkedIn, and all other purposes that requires your image.

The Association will email you the high resolution file following the event.

A two hour window will be available on Tuesday afternoon from 1:00-3:00pm. Interested parties will be assigned a time slot, so no more than a few minutes away from your business meetings will be required.

Photographs are $75 dollars, a portion of which will benefit TMPAA Charities.

Program Submission
Executive Summary 

Members of the TMPAA Carrier Committee have developed a format that provides basic elements of your programs that will allow a potential carrier partner the opportunity to properly evaluate an initial submission for further consideration. Each Carrier has its own set of expectations for a formal program submission. The Program Executive Summary provides important information that will aid in the decision of taking that next step. Please consider having this fillable document available when scheduling your meetings at the Mid Year.

TMPAA Charities & Operation Welcome Home Maryland

TMPAA Charities is shifting its “Packages from Home” initiative for the 2014 Mid Year Meeting and focusing instead on our troops returning from active service.

Operation Welcome Home Maryland (OWHMD) organizes volunteers to go to BWI airport and greet the troops coming from overseas where they have been in harm's way. The volunteers generally have banners and signs with them and greet the troops when they step on American soil, shake their hands and thank them for their service. Each returning soldier receives a bag that contains a bottle of water, a few treats like candy bars, cookies, chips, etc. and a personalized card from the group who packed the bags, thanking them for their sacrifices. OWHMD also includes information about resources for the troops, such as crisis and hotline phone numbers, their website and where they can get free items or even shower at the airport. OWHMD greets between 7,000 and 10,000 troops each month. They estimate that they've greeted over 500,000 since their inception a few years ago.

More information to follow about how Mid Year Meeting Attendees can help put a package together at the event and send a note thanking our soldiers.
