Board Nominations Are Now Open

BOARD NOMINATIONS ARE NOW OPEN

The Board of Directors of Public Entity Partners (PEP) is currently accepting nominations for two (2) Board positions that will be open as of Aug. 31, 2026. The directors currently filling the positions are term limited and not eligible for reappointment. 

Regular meetings of the Board of Directors are held quarterly at Public Entity Partners’ headquarters in Franklin. Board members volunteer their time and knowledge to steer the direction of our organization. This is accomplished by approving the annual budget; authorizing rate, dividend and coverage changes; and setting financial objectives through various policies, such as the investment and capital adequacy policies.

Public Entity Partners' by-laws state that the Board of Directors shall consist of "eight (8) directors, each of whom shall be an elected official, city manager, or city administrator of a municipal government which is located in the State of Tennessee and has active insurance coverage with Public Entity Partners. The majority of the eight (8) directors shall be elected officials and, at least two (2) of these eight directors shall hold the position of city manager or city administrator. Each director shall represent a city with active insurance coverage through Public Entity Partners. To the extent practicable, directors shall be representative of cities of various sizes and locations across the three grand divisions of the State. The directors should be representative of the demographics of the State."

At PEP, our commitment to our members goes beyond providing insurance coverage. We actively partner with nearly 500 cities, towns and local service organizations to mitigate risk and foster a culture of safety. That's why we continuously invest in training, education and other resources to empower our members with the knowledge and tools they need to reduce their risk effectively. From webinars and in-person training, online resources, and industry expertise to our annual Risk & Insurance Symposium, we strive to ensure that our members have access to the latest information, best practices and innovative strategies to successfully manage their risk exposure.

Nominations for the Board of Directors will be accepted through June 5. All submitted nominations will be reviewed by the Board on June 26 at 10 a.m. CST during its regularly scheduled meeting. From this pool, the Board will select two nominees to advance for confirmation. Final approval will take place at the Insured Organization Meeting, held during the Risk & Insurance Symposium on Aug. 27, where a quorum of members will vote to confirm the selected candidates.
