Rising Insurance Star Executives has named Donegal Insurance Group's Tony Finnegan among its list of 2021 RISE Award Winners.

Bestowed annually, the RISE Awards honor Rising Insurance Star Executives under the age of 40 or with less than 10 years of experience in the insurance industry. "Tony is outstanding in many facets," wrote Donegal senior vice president of commercial lines Fran Haefner in his nomination submission for Finnegan, a 17-year Donegal veteran and vice president in commercial lines. "One specific project he owns is the underwriting workstation. It's a functional, interactive system in which underwriters process information."

At Donegal, Finnegan manages a team of commercial staff and production underwriters in the states of Delaware, Maryland, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Illinois. He began his career as an underwriter trainee in 2004, and today, he remains focused on achieving results in line with company objectives, while providing service to the independent agents.

Donegal Insurance Group provides personal and commercial insurance products through a network of independent agents across several regions of the United Staes. The company has been in the insurance business for more than 130 years.
