Beginnings

In the early 1980's, the Tennessee County Executives saw the great need that existed in Tennessee for an alternative to the traditional commercial insurance market, and began work to form a self insured workers compensation insurance program to serve Tennessee Counties and County Agencies. They subsequently formed the Local Government Insurance Pool.

The Local Government Insurance Pool is now two separate Funds:

• Local Government Workers' Compensation Fund
• Local Government Property & Casualty Fund

Both of these Funds exist for the sole purpose of providing consistent, stable and quality insurance for Tennessee Counties and Counties Agencies Serving Tennessee Counties continuously for more than a quarter of a century for the workers' compensation and almost as long for the property and casualty, the Funds have been shown to be an effective and preferred method of providing quality insurance for its members.

Structure

Both Funds operate under the direction of a Board of Trustees who are in or have served for many years in the public sector.

These directors meet on a regular basis with the heads of various department or organizations that provide services to the Funds.

The Local Government Insurance Pool, in addition to the Board of Trustees, employs a sales executive, Bob Fielding, who is dedicated solely to sales and sales management, serving as a liaison between the Funds and the various departments and their operations for the Funds.

Our sole purpose and reason for existence is to serve Tennessee Counties and County Agencies.
