Mr. Alan Meltzer

Alan Meltzer started The Meltzer Group in 1982 as an individual insurance agent. Over time, he expanded the company to over 400 team members across five divisions, making it one of the largest insurance consultants and corporate philanthropists in the greater Washington, D.C. region.

Alan’s work ethic and strong values, along with The Meltzer Group’s philosophy of “listening, learning and leveraging” to be as effective as possible in serving its clients, were the driving forces behind the company's exponential growth. The Meltzer Group's year-over-year growth and community impact made it an ideal acquisition target for NFP, the sixth-largest privately-owned broker in the U.S. ($1.46B in 2019 revenue), which bought The Meltzer Group in 2016. The acquisition more than doubled the regional workforce and geographical footprint, while leveraging the knowledge, reach, and impact of nearly 5,600 employees and 300 offices worldwide.

Alan believes that one's net worth is measured by how much they help others, both from a business and philanthropic standpoint. Along with his wife of almost 40 years, Amy, ander Group, he is among the most prominent philanthropists in the greater D.C. area. Their focus is on supporting causes such as Juvenile Diabetes, the United States Holocaust Museum, and Beat the Streets, Washington D.C. Alan is also actively involved in many charitable organizations, serving on the board of American University, United Jewish Federation in Washington, D.C., and several others.
