Deeley Insurance Group, Delmarva’s oldest family-owned, independent insurance agency, is delighted to announce the appointment of Jayme Hayes as our new Vice President. Hayes brings over 20 years of regional business leadership experience and will be instrumental in directing our agency’s growth and client service initiatives.
In her new role, Hayes will guide Deeley’s business development and partnership outreach efforts, oversee our team of Client Advisors and work with executive leadership to strengthen our agency’s presence throughout the region, bringing thoughtful protection programs to individuals and businesses of every size.
“We’ve known and admired Jayme for years,” said Cindy Hall, Deeley’s Executive Vice President. “Her optimism, drive and commitment to the community are very impressive, and that’s exactly why she fits so well at the heart of our team.”
Since 2007, Hayes has served as President and CEO of Junior Achievement of the Eastern Shore, launching new programs, deepening partnerships and impacting the lives of tens of thousands of people across Delmarva. Hayes was the driving force behind the fundraising, design and construction of the Perdue Henson Junior Achievement Center in Salisbury, which opened in fall of 2023 and serves students in eight counties.
“Our core philosophies are so closely aligned,” notes Deeley’s President Laura Bren. “Jayme has an incredible talent for listening carefully to business leaders, digging deep to find the best way to support them, then moving heaven and earth to make it happen. And that’s what our agency aspires to every day.”
“I’m honored to join the exceptional team at Deeley,” said Hayes. “Their positive energy really sets them apart in our market, and I’m excited to bring ‘The Deeley Difference’ to clients across the peninsula.”
