Program Aggregator Membership Defined

The Program Aggregator is a unique membership category of the TMPAA designed for companies that have significant involvement in the program space through ownership of separately branded program administrators, but may not themselves manage a specific program. Program Aggregator Members can promote the unique opportunity they offer Program Administrators looking to expand their capabilities as part of a larger organization or develop a perpetuation plan for their agency. Promotion also includes the option of brand recognition through sponsorship of TMPAA meetings and events.
