Tillmar Connect was launched in January 2010 by Arvid R. “Dick” Tillmar, a longtime commercial insurance executive with a history of community involvement and leadership. In his 45-year insurance industry career, Tillmar engendered solid contacts with key decision makers in the business, civic and community sectors.
Prior to launching Tillmar Connect, Tillmar was a shareholder, preventive health advocate, certified workplace wellness instructor and employee benefits consultant with Diversified Insurance Services in Brookfield. He joined Diversified Insurance Services after selling T.E. Brennan Co., a risk management and insurance consulting firm in Milwaukee. While at Diversified, the Independent Insurance Agents of Wisconsin named him Agent of the Year in 2009.
In the community, Tillmar co-chairs the leadership team of Well City Mlwaukee, an organization that has engaged numerous employers in a focus on employee wellness in a campaign to reduce health care costs and improve lifestyles. The three-year effort resulted in Milwaukee being named a Well City on March 18, 2010, with 34 employers meeting the criteria, representing more than 75,000 employees in the city.
His health and wellness knowledge has also been shared through his work with the Health Care Team of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, the Wellness Council of Wisconsin, the Greater Milwaukee Committee’s Healthy Lifestyles sub-committee, the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease-Wisconsin, the Population Health Institute of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital’s President’s Advisory Council.
He also has served on the board of the Boy Scouts of America-Milwaukee County Council, Rotary Club of Milwaukee and the U.S.S. Freedom Commissioning Committee.
Tillmar has served on the board of directors of the Council of Small Business Executives (COSBE) of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce.
