The Insurance Library Association of Boston is proud to join with those represented here to congratulate F. Timothy Hegarty, Jr. as the 2017 Insurance Professional of the Year.

Mr. Hegarty’s career began at Malmart Mortgage Company, the fi rst minority owned mortgage banking company in New England. From there he went on to serve as an Assistant Attorney General, eventually becoming the Chief of the Insurance Division. Mr. Hegarty joined The Norfolk & Dedham Mutual Fire Insurance Company in 1984 as Vice President of Marketing. He was named President in 1990 and currently serves as Chairman of the Board.

His dedication to the community is apparent in his work with many civic and non-profi t organizations. Perhaps it is because of the years he spent as a public servant, or his time volunteering in the community, but one of the things people comment on most is Mr. Hegarty’s approachability.

His practice of meeting personally with each new employee and his open door policy encouraged employees to embrace change and provide input, not relying on the status quo. Under Mr. Hegarty’s leadership, Norfolk and Dedham Group has become an innovative organization. Norfolk & Dedham Group invested early in technology to streamline their business as well as improving work for their agents.

Mr. Hegarty has also engendered this spirit of community in his agents; urging them to focus on the value add that they bring. Years ago he was quoted as saying: “We don’t dabble in direct writing. We feel agents are our best value to market.” We think that quote is very telling about the regard that Mr. Hegarty has for people in general and which embodies the criteria for The Insurance Professional of the Year. As he becomes the 16th individual to achieve this elite status, we congratulate Mr. Hegarty on a job well done!
