Texas Mutual Insurance Company announced that Texas Governor Rick Perry has appointed Sandra Kuprion-Thomas to Texas Mutual’s Board of Directors. Kuprion-Thomas is a certified public accountant and the president of Kuprion-Thomas & Voorhees PC, an accounting and consulting services firm in Dallas.

“I’ve spoken with Ms. Kuprion-Thomas, and she is very excited about working with Texas Mutual,” said Martin Young Jr., chairman of the board. “Her background in accounting and as a board member in other organizations makes her an excellent choice for Texas Mutual.”

She is also a member of the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Institute of Management Accountants, the Association of Fraud Examiners, the Greater Dallas Chamber of Commerce, Financial Executives Institute, and the National Association of Enrolled Agents.

“I’m looking forward to working with Ms. Kuprion-Thomas,” said Texas Mutual President Russ Oliver. “I know she’s going to hit the ground running because next week is our annual board retreat.”
