Involvement in Community

We not only want to be involved as a good corporate citizen, but we strive to be a leader. Many of our Directors, Officers and employees donate their time, talent and expertise, and in many cases, in leadership roles, to numerous organizations.

By being actively involved in the community, we are aware of critical needs and are able to assist area organizations in their missions.

Here are a couple of recent examples:

Annawon Council, Boy Scouts of America   Involvement: Mr. Kelly and Mr. Murray sit on the Board of Directors of Annawon Council, Boy Scouts of America. In addition to their volunteer efforts, a grant was awarded to the Scouts for their ScoutReach program which allows members in the Council's most troubled areas to enjoy the camping, leadership experiences and learning opportunities which help them become strong and healthy adults with personal values.

UMass Dartmouth Freedom Festival   Involvement: Bristol County Savings Bank helped to fund UMass Dartmouth's 2009 Freedom Festival which draws more than 20,000 residents from southeastern Massachusetts and northern Rhode Island to the campus for a night of fireworks and entertainment provided by the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra.
