2008 Honorary Chairmen
Charles and Joshua Lamb
Thomas Anthony ‘Tony’ Lamb, 47, Director of Advocacy and Political Affairs at America’s Health Insurance Plans (www.ahip.org). Tony was born in Indianapolis, Indiana but was raised and maintained strong roots in Tennessee. Though he graduated from Carson Newman College (www.cn.edu) in Jefferson City, TN, he was an avid University of Tennessee football fan. Immediately after college, he became the editor of the Nashville Record, a weekly newspaper.
Before coming to the area, Tony served as Director of Public Affairs and Government Relations for HCA, Inc. – the nation’s largest operator of hospitals and he earned the company’s national leadership award in 1998. Tony also founded the Coalition for Medicare Choices, a group of 250,000 seniors from 49 states that has become a major voice in Washington for people with Medicare. He served as the group’s Executive Director.
During his career, Tony was part of the founding management team for Aegis Healthcare, the Nashville Business Journal and Capitol Hill Investment Strategies, a Washington-based investment newsletter. He also served as one of the early editors of Contemporary Long-Term Care, the leading magazine for the nursing home industry.
Karen Ignagni, AHIP’s CEO, said “Tony was part of the heart of AHIP and built a capacity here that will live on for quite some time. But that's only the half of it. What he did day-to-day was to give hope and comfort to the beneficiaries we serve who just needed a kind word, a thoughtful response or a strong shoulder on which to lean.”
He was an Elder and a leader at First Presbyterian Church, Arlington. Tony is survived by his wife Diana Hamilton Lamb and his two sons Charles Anthony Lamb and Joshua Thomas Lamb as well as his mother, Nadine Lamb Margrave, his brother William G. Lamb, his sister, Melanie Faithful, and nephews and nieces.
