DESIGNA TIONS

One core element of the TMPAA mission is to promote excellence for this most elite segment of insurance
intermediaries, Program Administrators/MGAs. Target Markets has developed a uniform protocol and criteria to
evaluate Agency Member program business operations. Participation in a Best Practice evaluation will encourage
applicants to review their current level of functionality, seek greater efficiencies in the way they currently
conduct business. Ultimately, successful Best Practice candidates will be recognized by program business
professionals as a “best in class” operation.
The TMPAA Best Practice Designation will not only benefit members through critical reviews and improvements in
agency functionality but also enhanced market image, product promotion and recognition from their peers.

CPL (CER TIFIED PROGRAMS LEADER) DESIGNATION
The mission of Target University is to further promote Best Practices in program administration, enhance
the status of Program Business in the insurance industry and recognize the specialized skill sets of Program Special-
ists. The University was developed through the efforts of the TMPAA Board and committee of TMPAA members who
served as advisors on course development. Courses are taught by your program peers and professionals actively
working in this industry segment.
TMPAA Members who complete and pass all 12 courses and have the prerequisite leadership history in program
business are eligible to apply for the CPL (Certified Programs Leader) Designation. Approved applicants will be
awarded the CPL Designation at either the Mid-Year or Summit meeting.
