Timothy M. Klusas, TMA’s President, stated, “Jack is a rare leader who leads by example and relies on keen business acumen to deliver results for all of the organizations to which he has belonged. Jack is also a successful business owner who understands that the foremost priority for his business is to serve the needs of his clients.”

Mr. Klusas continued, “Ron initiated the Board’s thinking on a succession plan, and to his credit, he created a process that emphasizes continuity and consistency at the Board level and in the Company.”

Mr. Verzone, chairman of Exeter, NH-based United Underwriters, Inc. will remain fully engaged as a member of the Board of Directors. He has served as Chairman of the Board since TMA’s inception in 1995.
