SALISBURY, MD – The Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce (SACC) welcomed members and guests to its November Business After Hours on November 12, co-hosted by The Insurance Market in downtown Salisbury. The event brought together local business leaders and professionals for an evening of networking, community engagement, and hospitality.
Guests were greeted by Jim Hartstein, Principal of The Insurance Market, and his dedicated team, who welcomed attendees and shared the agency’s long-standing commitment to serving businesses, families, and communities throughout the region.
The evening featured a remarkable spread prepared by Adam’s Taphouse Grille/Blue Diamond Catering, including an impressive charcuterie display, their signature crab dip, meatballs, chicken skewers, and perfectly crisp, seasoned Brussels sprouts. Attendees also enjoyed opportunities to win beautifully curated gift baskets featuring The Insurance Market promotional items and $50 gift cards from local restaurants.
In support of the SACC-Wor-Wic Scholarship Fund, attendees participated in a special raffle drawing. Congratulations to Attorney Amber Green from AC Law Firm, who was the winning ticket holder and received $50 gift cards to Market Street Inn Restaurant & Pub and The Groove Restaurant.
During the program, Hartstein reflected on the agency’s rich history and continued growth.
“Thank you for joining us today,” said Hartstein. “Our organization dates back to 1900, and our family became involved in 1975 when my grandfather purchased the agency. My father, who is with us today, was one of his first hires. We opened our first Salisbury office in the same location where the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce is now located. We have experienced tremendous growth over the years, and today we are proud to have 39 team members and offices in Salisbury, Laurel, and Milford, Delaware. We serve as the administrator for a national insurance program for the Society for Human Resource Management and are proud to share that we were honored to have been recognized as one of Delaware’s Top Workplaces in 2026.”
Founded more than 126 years ago, The Insurance Market is a locally rooted independent insurance agency specializing in personal insurance, commercial insurance, employee benefits, and risk management solutions. Licensed in 42 states, the agency remains committed to providing thoughtful, customized strategies while building lasting relationships with its clients and communities.
The Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce extends its sincere appreciation to The Insurance Market and its team for hosting a successful and memorable event.
SACC invites members and guests to attend the next Business After Hours on December 10 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at John B. Parsons Assisted Living Community, where attendees will gather to celebrate the holiday season and enjoy another evening of networking and fellowship.
