The Trustees are dedicated to high standards in the
administration of a workers' compensation program.
Trustees are uncompensated and take time out of their
business to lend their expertise to the Trust. The
Trustees contribute a significant amount of their time
to insure the success of the Trust.
Digressing for a moment to 1991, we find the workers'
compensation insurance market in turmoil. Restaurant
operators were forced into the "Mississippi Assigned
Risk Pool" at rates 40% higher than standard cost. Many
Mississippi business associations formed group
self-insurance pools to provide members with an
alternative to the assigned risk pool. The Mississippi
Restaurant Association sponsored the formation of the
Trust. Service Industries Workers Compensation Trust was
granted a certificate by the Mississippi Workers'
Compensation Commission to begin offering workers'
compensation effective April 1, 1991. The name was
changed in 1997 to Mississippi Restaurant Association
Workers Compensation Trust to better reflect the Trusts
commitment to the restaurant industry. When the
Mississippi Restaurant Association changed its name to
the Mississippi Hospitality Restaurant Association, the
Trust adopted this change into the Trust's name.
