The Target Markets Program Administrators Association (TMPAA) awarded member agencies, the Association's Best Practice Designation at their recent Program Summit in Tempe, Arizona.
The Summit was attended by over 600 Program Business Professionals including the group's 50 Program Carriers. Newt Gingrich provided the meeting's keynote address.
"The Best Practice Designation remains Key to our future as an Association and as Program Administrators," states Greg Thompson, Association President. During the course of this year we solicited detailed feedback from our Carrier Partners and overhauled the Best Practice Certification Process in order to make it more relevant to their needs, and increasing its value to our membership. "All four of the agencies receiving this Designation were evaluated with this higher standard, and demonstrated proficiency in the program business areas under review."
Tony Campisi, President and CEO of the Glatfelter Insurance Group stated, "It is an honor to be awarded the Best Practice Designation. The award is a reflection of the ideals we strive to achieve in the program world, and an important benchmark for all program specialists to reach in becoming a best in class operation."
"It was an exercise well worth doing. In preparation for the audit we took an introspective look at our operations and procedures – we realize that keeping high standards is a journey and not a destination," states Ira J. Dawer, President of Synergy Professional Associates. "The designation we believe is a value added proposition to our company partners and our producers."
Tim Cappellett, Vice President of Oryx Insurance Brokerage, Inc. stated, "Oryx is proud to be associated with the select group of companies that have earned this award. The Best Practice Designation validates the hard work and commitment we strive to provide to our insurance partners, brokers and insureds. We are honored to be a recipient of this significant designation."
"It is a privilege and an honor to be awarded the Target Markets Best Practice Designation," states David Hampton, President and CEO of Willis Programs. "This designation represents the hallmark of quality in Program Management and Willis Programs is very proud of this accomplishment. I strongly encourage all Program Managers to obtain the Best Practice Designation."
"The Association continues to provide unparalleled support to its members and the program business industry, and its influence in the industry is growing," states Craig Fundum, president of Zurich Programs & Direct Markets. "Through the recognition of best in class program operations, as well as the expertise of the specialists and administrators who run these operations, the Association impacts not only those honored, but also challenges all in the industry to strive for business excellence. I personally believe in the work of TMPAA and attend the Association's annual meetings to gain insight, connect with new program administrators and general agents, and discover new ways to improve and expand our business."
