TAI Insights – In February, we proudly launched TAI Insights – a powerful reinsurance analytics toolset for TAI clients. For more information, explore TAI Insights here.

ReFocus – A number of us from TAI spent a few days in Las Vegas last month at the 2023 ReFocus meeting. In addition to the always interesting presentations and sessions, it gave us a great opportunity to connect with many of our clients face-to-face. The feedback we received from these conversations was encouraging and indicated that we are on the right track and focused on the right things for both our clients and the reinsurance industry.

Coming Soon

Fan Club

With the TAI Summit in the near future, this quarter’s trivia questions are about “The Big Easy,” aka New Orleans.

Answer the following questions for your chance to win a $5 Starbucks e-gift card:

• The French originally founded New Orleans. Which country took possession of New Orleans with the Treaty of Paris in 1763?
  
  
• What Disney animated film includes the song “Down in New Orleans,” recorded by blues-funk legend Dr. John?
  
  
• What major New Orleans street historically served as the dividing line between the primarily Creole French sector and the mostly American sector? This street was considered a “neutral ground,” a name people in New Orleans now use for medians across the city.

Meet the Band: Dana Crook

Meet Dana Crook, Executive Director of Training, pictured to the right, sporting a TAI Employee Appreciation shirt after catching a giant catfish!

Dana was born and raised in Lancaster, South Carolina, and still lives there. Dana is a self-proclaimed Southern country girl who loves to be outside. Anything she can do outside is fun – even mowing grass! She loves fishing with her husband and brother (all catch and release) and even caught a six-foot blacktip shark off the coast of North Carolina. “Being out on the water is so peaceful, and the morning sunrise views are beautiful,” she tells us.

Dana’s best friends have paws. She lives on a 100-acre family farm and loves to take her four Labrador retrievers swimming in the ponds and walking in the woods. Her goal was to have one Lab for every AKC registered color, and she has achieved that!

Dana’s favorite band is Prince and the Revolution. She became a true fan of Prince back in the 80s, and to this day, she believes he was one of the most talented artists. She visited his home, Paisley Park, in Minnesota, with some dear friends and would do it again. She loved the experience and the vibe. Her favorite song is “Purple Rain,” and it’s also her favorite movie. Dana has seen the film more than 20 times!
