Tennessee Lawmakers Honor Michael Fann

Several Tennessee lawmakers sponsored a resolution honoring Michael Fann, president and CEO of Public Entity Partners, for his 35 years of service to public entities across the state. Presented to Fann by Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson (R), District 23, on June 11 at PE Partners’ Board of Directors meeting, the resolution was also sponsored by Rep. Brandon Ogles (R), District 61; Rep. Sam Whitson (R), District 65; and Rep. Glen Casada (R), District 63.

 “Michael Fann has dedicated his career to assisting Tennessee’s local governments as they work to serve their citizens,” Sen. Johnson says. “It is a privilege to present him with this resolution commending him for his 35-year commitment to public entities across our great state. As the resolution declares, he epitomizes the spirit and commitment that are characteristic of a true Tennessean.”

 The resolution lauded Fann for his dedication to the State of Tennessee and its citizens, and stated, “It is fitting that we should salute those citizens who, through their extraordinary efforts, have distinguished themselves as community leaders.”

 “It is a sincere honor to be presented with this resolution,” Fann says. “I am exceedingly grateful for the work PE Partners provides to our members, and would actually characterize it as a calling. For more than 40 years, our team members have devoted their careers to working with and for local governments throughout Tennessee, and we are proud to partner with them to help reduce their risk exposure, ensure the safety of their employees and the protection of their taxpayer dollars, and equip them to provide vital services for their citizens.”

 In addition to his current leadership position, Fann has served in several roles at PE Partners since he began his career in 1986 as a loss control consultant. He was named manager of loss control services in 1990 and transitioned to director of loss control in 1994, where he led efforts aimed at reducing employee injuries, liability and property losses, and claim exposures for municipalities and other local agencies. Additional roles have included director of personnel and vice president of risk services.

 “I have had the privilege of knowing Michael Fann for many years now, and he truly represents our mission,” says Mayor William Curtis Hayes, Jr. (Livingston), chairman of PE Partners’ Board of Directors. “There is no doubt that his 35 years of expertise with Public Entity Partners have been instrumental in making a difference in the lives of Tennessee public entity employees and the citizens they serve.”
