Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis has appointed Frank White of Pensacola to the Citizens Property Insurance Corporation Board of Governors. The Florida Legislature created Citizens in August 2002 as a not-for-profit, tax-exempt government entity to provide property insurance to eligible Florida property owners unable to find insurance coverage in the private market.

CFO Jimmy Patronis said, “I’m proud to appoint Frank White to serve on the Citizens Board of Governors. As a small business owner, attorney, and former state representative, I have no doubt that Frank’s expertise and insight will be an asset to Citizens policyholders statewide. Thank you to outgoing board member Scott Thomas for his years of service and hard work on behalf of Floridians.”

White is a business owner, attorney, and former state legislator. He is the founder and CEO of Tag Tech, a business providing title processing services and software to auto dealers, fleet owners, and auto auctions nationwide. He also serves as General Counsel for Sandy Sansing Automotive, a family-owned group of 13 auto dealerships in Florida, Alabama, and Indiana.

Born and raised in Amarillo, Texas, White earned undergraduate degrees with honors in history and business, as well as his J.D. and M.B.A. from Southern Methodist University.
