Events & Activities - Thomas S. Green Awards
In 1987, when Tom Green, a distinguished civic leader, former Vice President of Norton Company, and a founder of The Research Bureau passed away, we honored his memory by establishing the Thomas S. Green Public Service Awards for outstanding public servants. Since 1988, The Research Bureau has recognized over 90 "unsung heroes" in municipal government for their commitments to making Worcester and nearby communities better places to live and work.
