Nancy Ostin has left her post as president of the Middlesex County
Chamber of Commerce. A graduate of Emerson College in Boston, she
had been at the chamber for five years.
Ostin says it was time for her to move on to another opportunity.
"In my term at the chamber, membership tripled, and two regional
chambers were merged," says Ostin. "We developed a successful
chapter program, improved the image and publicity, increased the number
of services and programs, and increased the net worth of the organization
by 130 percent." Board members say the chamber is "being reorganized."

Down-Sizing
200, Princeton 08540. Richard A. Maloy Jr., CEO. 609-987-0221; fax,
609-987-0490. Www.insurehitech.com
Rick Maloy had leased 12,000 square feet for his web-based insurance
business that uses an Internet platform to connect the broker with
the technology customer and the insurance company (U.S. 1, August
16, 2000). When the technology sector took a tumble, the company resized
its expectations. Instead of expanding quickly, as it had planned
to do, it quit expanding. A staff of 25 people last year is just 18
people this year, and three-fourth of the space has been sublet, with
just 3,500 remaining, says Dan McGrath, spokesperson.
The firm offers risk management and insurance placement services for
the information technology and life sciences industries. At its peak
it had 49 employees.
"What we have done is focus in the tri-state area instead of trying
to blow out across the country," says McGrath. "We are doing
a laser focus on New Jersey, and we stopped spending early enough
so that we still have cash in the kitty."
Founded by Richard A. Maloy Sr., the company was formerly known by
the Maloy family’s name. JP Morgan has contributed $14 million over
an 18-month period and has a 29 percent share of the company, but
it is primarily owned by the Maloys.
