Utilizing the authority contained in the Montana lnterlocal Cooperation Act, municipalities from across the State came together to form the Montana Municipal Insurance Authority (MMIA). As we reflect on those seventeen plus years the MMIA has developed into an organization significantly greater than any of the creators ever envisioned. The MMIA was formed to provide affordability and availability of insurance products for !ts members. With assets in excess of $55 million and a significant financial surplus in each Program, the MMIA has a sound financial basis. The MMIA is recognized both within the state and nationally as a leader in the business of managing municipal risks. The MMIA provides a broad range of insurance services to its 119 member agencies. The MMIA Board of Directors and'staff are pleased to again have an opportunity to share the financial success of the Workers' Compensation Program with its membership. During the MMIA's 2002 annual meeting, Board Chair Kathy Denke announced the distribution of $1.5 million to members of the Workers' Compensation Program. In her remarks she~ noted that this distribution brings the total amount of monies distributed to the Program's membership to $9.98 million. This distribution is being made in accordance with the formula set forth in the Programs Membership Agreement. Included with this letter is a check for your share of the $1.5 million dividend. We encourage you to !nclude this announcement and a discussion of the MMIA at the next meeting of your governing body. The significant support you, and all the membership, have given the MMIA and the commitment all have made to the management of municipal risks creates the opportunity for all to continue to sham in the Program's good fortune. .; Congratulations and thanks for your continued support.
