			Ralph S. Hirshorn Chairman \| Member of firm since 1963 “Our clients tend to be successful, well-managed companies, and decidedly risk-averse. The insurance companies we represent are among the very best in the world. Our staff is competent, experienced and creative. We also try not to take ourselves too seriously.” [send mail]

			George M. Connelly President \| Member of firm since 1988 “Nothing we do is routine. We check and double check every premium audit and retrospective premium adjustment. We develop test workers compensation insurance experience modifications for early premium trending. We create high deductible and self-insurance alternatives for the larger risk. We encourage and participate in safety committees for our clients. We even examine non-insurance alternatives. We find answers where other brokers don’t ask the questions.” [send mail]

			Marjorie E. Hirshorn Financial Officer \| Member of firm since 1989 “We’re something like a great orchestra. We’ve had the same direction for years and we’ve all performed together forever. We anticipate each other, understand our companies fully, blend seamlessly in and out of a number of matters. Flexibility and continuity like that enables us to act with the determination and stability you get from being a seventy-five year-old corporation.” [send mail]

			Stephen H. Wetherill Vice President \| Member of firm since 1978 “If you returned to your business today after a ten-year hiatus, you wouldn’t recognize much of what went on around you. But you would recognize us. Your Hirshorn representative would likely be the same person you knew ten years ago — and you would most certainly remember the direct and honest manner in which we conduct business. All the computers in the world will never replace creativity, hard work and individual attention.” [send mail]

			Ralph W. Marsh Director of Life & Benefit Programs Member of firm since 1984 “Few purchases — whether of service or product — are more important than insurance. And it is a most difficult purchase about which to inform yourself; it's not as easy as buying tires or toasters. For that reason, even the most sophisticated company or individual relies tremendously on the knowledge and dedication of the agent. That's a burden — a privilege, really— that we don't take lightly. Every case is studied scrupulously, and every recommendation we make is as well-informed as possible. We research all of our proposals as if they were for our own families.” [send mail]
