From Your CEO I Want to See You There! Cooler weather is coming! And that means it's time to start talking about our Annual Convention. It is scheduled for October 16-19 in Florence, Alabama where Autumn will be turning its head and showing its colors. I can’t wait to see our members and get acquainted with them. This will be my first convention with Insurors of Tennessee and my wife Laura and I are looking forward to it!
Network and Learn Over the last year, we have navigated circumstances that have never been seen before in our industry. I know that it is important to break out carefully so we can meet and greet each other and have great conversation. Our goal is to get together, share fellowship and talk about the changes we have seen in the past year and what changes we anticipate in the future. This is a great opportunity for you to share ideas and get feedback from other agency principals and staff as well as our carrier and vendor partners. One of the greatest values of our Association is the ability to network and learn from each other – don't miss your chance to capitalize on it at the Annual Convention!
Your Help for Your Association This Association has been strong for 128 years and we want to see it continue for 128 more! It is time to strengthen old bonds and meet new friends. Our industry is built upon the relationships that we foster throughout our state and beyond. Your vendors will be taking time to hear from each of us and talk about the exciting new developments that they have to offer. I see great value in coming together and discussing your vision for this Association and where you see us over the next couple of years. We will see changes like never before and I want to make the right decisions to keep us moving forward in a steady direction for the betterment of this organization. With your input and knowledge, we can be stronger and better than ever! I want to encourThe Tennessee Insuror

What we do today affects the future of this Association and it is up to us to build on the continued success we have enjoyed over the years. Your commitment to Insurors of Tennessee will help us stand the test of time.
A Safe and Fun Environment In July I attended two conferences, the Independent Agents Association Executives (IAAE) Conference and the Insurors Young Agents Leadership Conference. Both were well attended, and the hospitality from the venues was exemplary. The Marriott Shoals Resort and Spa will be the same. Two years have passed since our last in-person convention, and we are committed to hosting a great event! I did an on-site inspection of the Marriott, and they assured me that they will follow all rules and regulations to keep us safe. They have a great venue and we will plenty of space for our guests and functions. We will have exciting things for all who attend! I hope to see everyone there that is able to join us. Keep up with all the updates and our schedule as we announce some special guests and speakers in the next few weeks leading up to the event.

Worth Your Time Now is the time to expand your insights, capabilities, and connections with other professionals in our industry. An infusion of ideas, resources and confidence will enable us to navigate beyond the pandemic and into an astoundingly successful future. I am very excited about the opportunity to be together in-person with so many of you, and I promise it will be worth your time to attend.
