A MESSAGE FROM MICHAEL A. CORBETT 

2024 marks a new chapter for the TCIA.  I am proud to have been elected president for the coming year, continuing the fine work that Kevin Doherty has done since we formed the TCIA in 2011.

The TCIA has represented the captive industry in Tennessee with the unwavering support of numerous volunteers.  My fellow board members: Kevin Doherty, Jennifer Meranda, Andrew Rhea, Christine Scruggs, Susan Euteneuer, Misti Doose, Chris Woodruff, Michelle Bradley, Bill Buechler and Ben Whitehouse along with numerous committees have made the TCIA a very successful organization looking after the interests of the captive industry in Tennessee.

I stand on the shoulders of these dedicated volunteers who I am proud to call friends.

 I look forward to a successful and prosperous 2024!
