A Message from the Chairman of the Board
Each year, every year for the past twenty-three years, The Research Bureau has enlivened our local marketplace of ideas. Forums have been presented that are meant to educate, illuminate or provoke. Reports have been researched and drafted that aim to cogently explain issues which are or should be on the radar screens of our reigning Zeitgeist. The Research Bureau satisfies its mission when controversy is sparked, debate follows, and public policy is examined or re-examined by those who govern.
The secret of The Research Bureau’s success is its ability to forge relationships with diverse constituencies and to collaborate with others who share common goals of revitalizing and restoring prosperity to the Worcester region. Working with city and town officials at all levels, neighborhood associations, public and private agencies, associations and institutes, The Research Bureau is a respected resource for financially challenged local governments seeking public policy guidance. Wrongly perceived by its critics as a scold, The Research Bureau has also been the messenger of good news.
