Tracy Russo-Keesey, current owner and CEO, joined the HTA family in 1998 as a college intern. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from West Chester University with a BS in Finance and a Minor in Economics, Keesey continued to work for HTA. Eventually Tracy was offered the opportunity to become partner in 2007 after successfully developing and leading a Long-Term Care (LTC) Brokerage Division. During this time, she recruited and trained independent Financial Advisors to sell LTC and Medicare insurance. Tracy soon became acutely aware that Financial Advisors don't want to sell insurance, they would rather refer their clients to a trusted resource to help them with their specific insurance needs. This led to the development of The Client Services Division (Retail Division) which still prospers today.
In addition to her work at HTA, Keesey joined The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) in 2014. Here, she has been able to broaden her network of colleagues and clients, gain valuable continuing education pertaining to the industry, and has recently lobbied on Capitol Hill to promote favorable legislation for the insurance and financial industry. More recently, Keesey was voted in as President of NAIFA, which consists of more than 50,000 members in all 50 states, holding at least one local chapter in every state, as well as the District of Columbia.
In 2017, founding partners Harry and Debbie Tashjian retired, thus resulting in the full acquisition of the company by Keesey. Since her ownership, Keesey has grown the company from eight employees to its current status of thirty plus employees in the last six years.
