Targeting Talent Trophy 

10 Day Educational Assignment in London

Sponsored by Tysers

Application Deadline - 9/13

Tysers, working with the TMPAA, is proud to sponsor the "Targeting Talent Trophy" which looks to provide a selected individual, from a Program Administrator member of the Association, the opportunity to travel to London for a 10 day educational assignment during the spring of 2014.

The selected applicant will leave London with a comprehensive understanding of how Program Business is transacted in the London market, spending time with the Tysers' broking team and various Lloyd's syndicates. There will be a focus on all aspects of transacting Program Business in London from client introduction through placement to accounting and claims.

This educational assignment is targeting applicants with:
  • Minimum of 3 years experience with a Program Administrator
  • Potential future carrier relationship responsibilities
  • Interest in broadening their experience to include knowledge of the London Market 

Sponsorship will include flights to London, transfers and accommodation for the duration of the stay.

TMPAA members interested in this opportunity will need to complete the Targeting Talent Trophy Application and submit by September 13. Based on individual responses, the top 10 applications will be selected. From this group of 10, one application will be randomly selected as the 2013 Targeting Talent Trophy winner. The winner will be announced at the 13th Annual Summit in October.

Need a new Corporate Photo?

Still using that photo with a full head of hair, the absence of wrinkles, holding your high school diploma?  Help is on the way.

The TMPAA has made arrangements to have a professional photographer at the October Summit to take that corporate headshot you need for print media, websites, LinkedIn, and all other media 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 1:00pm to 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.

The "Carrier Meet and Greet" event is once again planned for this year's Summit, scheduled immediately following the general session on Tuesday, October 22 at 10:30am. This event  ensures program administrator attendees can connect with all participating carrier members. It has been referred to as the "speed dating" portion of the Summit. 

Expect more information about the Carrier Meet and Greet event in the coming weeks. Plan to meet your next program business partner at the Summit.

"Getting Business Done"

One Thousand
Dollar Vendor Trade Show Challenge

The TMPAA has over 70 vendor partners that provide products and services for effective program administration and agency management. We would like to provide you with an incentive to explore these services and determine if they could bring value to your operation.

One of our vendors will be working with the Association staff for this incentive. No one will know the vendor identity. During the Summit, the 5th program administrator or carrier attendee who visits this vendor's trade show table and asks the contest question, "How can your product or service help me get business done" will win a One Thousand Dollar AMEX gift card from the TMPAA. We will not announce or inform the winner until the general session on Wednesday morning.

The more vendor services you learn about, the greater your chances of walking away with One Thousand Dollars, and potentially a valuable resource for your business.  

It's a win, win for everyone.

The "Getting Business Done" Trade Show Challenge is sponsored by:
