Distinguished Citizen Award Dinner (DCAD)
Thursday September 28, 2023
The Distinguished Citizen Award recognizes extraordinary leadership in the Worcester county area of central Massachusetts. Honoring distinguished citizenship delivers a message to our youth that character counts. Highlighting the example of noteworthy citizens helps to inspire our youth to lead, to accept responsibility, and to care about principles and causes beyond self-interest.
We are pleased to announce the 2023 honorees of the Distinguished Citizen Award are Barbara Mahoney, President and CEO of Leominster Credit Union, and Dr. Richard Lapidus, President of Fitchburg State University.
