UserName: Password:	About TPAA The TPAA was started by a group of sales and marketing executives who have successfully launched similar business-to-business alliances in other service industries. Most importantly, TPAA executives have over 20 years experience in disease-specific patient compliance and education as well as employee/provider/plan satisfaction measurement and benchmarking. Our staff has successfully sold to employer groups, managed care organizations, physician practices, pharmaceuticals and TPAs. This deep experience and sales success led to the formation of the TPAA.   Moira Shanahan - CEO In 1998, Shanahan was recognized as one of the "divas" of Atlanta business by Business to Business magazine.
