Richard Poppa, IIABNY President and CEO, retired

Tammy was the first person I hired when I went to work for the Independent Insurance Agents of America and after knowing her for more than 20 years, and working with her for several of those years, she would still be my first hire if I had the chance. Tammy is intelligent, compassionate, hard working and a significant consensus builder. She attacks each challenge she faces with resolve, fairness and a keen understanding that a positive outcome for her means a balanced outcome for all involved.
