Events and Forums Open to the Public
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 hundreds of “unsung heroes” in public service across Worcester Country for their commitment to making their communities better places to live and work. We appreciate the generous sponsorship of like-minded institutions that see the value in recognizing exceptionalism in our municipalities, public schools, and regional agencies.
