A
A
A
B
B
A
And
the
awards
better
to
present
it
tonight,
you're
named
in
honor
of
anybody's,
yet
one
of
the
founders
of
the
richness,
Bureau
1932
and
a
prominent
business
leader
who
served
for
many
years
in
public
office
in
the
Massachusetts
legislature
and
on
Austin
City
Council
Jerry.
The
ways
of
these
committee
of
each
body,
not
surprisingly
so
Henry
shattered
Prasad
by
the
commitment
to
public
service
and
the
politics
we
see
in
the
individual
as
we
honor.
A
short
bio
of
penny
shot
is
including
your
program,
since
the
focus
tonight
is
the
mysterious
shadow
recipients.
A
D
D
Awards
and
the
possible
research
bureau's
founding
purpose:
it's
a
hell
study
cover
effectively
for
all
of
citizens
and,
of
course
tonight
we
recognize
some
of
the
exceptional
people
who
make
our
city
work
every
day.
The
faces
of
the
food
comes
now
you'll
hear
more
about
each
of
them
dinner,
but
first
I
want
to
personally
affect
them
for
the
work
they
do
every
day
to
make
Boston
the
vibrant
and
a
beautiful
community
that
is
I
want
to
know
recently
when
there
was
the
crisis.
D
D
So
all
our
waters
should
be
it's
this
year
or
a
year
committed
themselves
to
serving
our
children.
Our
communities,
our
businesses
and
the
common
good
I
didn't
recognize
the
people
who
helped
make
this
evening
possible.
Bill,
Kennedy
and
Kara
Buckley
the
co-chairs
of
the
event,
and
they
helped
the
committee
members
review
many
worthy
applicants
to
find
the
most
deserving
ones
and
that's
not
an
easy
task.
Given
the
number
of
incredible
individuals
who
do
great
work
across
the
city
in
a
range
of
departments.
D
And,
of
course,
this
evening
would
not
be
possible
without
the
support
of
our
sponsors,
which
are
listed
in
your
program.
They
are
some
of
the
city's
leading
and
poorest
citizens.
Our
lieutenant
advisory
partners
in
John
Hancock
are
our
champion.
Sponsors
State
Street
is
a
premier
sponsor
and
our
patron
sponsors,
our
beacon
capital
partners,
Comcast
the
drew
company
and
little
bit.
D
Last
night,
impaired
walls
who
has
been
so
committed
to
the
shock
of
wars
and
he's
kind
of
on
the
shadow
circuit.
There
are
various
luncheons
that
we
have
for
the
widows
every
year
and
Mayor
Walsh's
deeply
committed
to
ensuring
that
these
awards,
which
recognize
people
day
in
and
day
out,
are
doing
the
job
he
wants
to
make
sure
that
they
get
that
recognition.
They
so
so
definitely
deserve
one
that
the
department
has
to
adhere,
and
that's
one
of
the
exciting
things
about
this
night,
because
the
department
has
an
ACOG
working
colleagues,
all
securing
the
recipients.
D
So
they're
all
we're
all
here
tonight
to
celebrate
our
awardees
and
share
their
accomplishments
and
I.
You
know
it
means
a
lot
to
them
and
all
of
you
are
taking
the
time
to
be
here
and
before
we
break
for
dinner.
Please
join
me
in
my
colleagues
at
the
research
Bureau
in
congratulating
our
awardees
in
including
our
city
champions.
They
truly
represent
the
best
of
Boston.
E
E
E
To
join
with
the
mayor
and
all
the
department
heads
to
celebrate
these
employees
of
the
city
of
Boston
with
the
Shattuck
awards
and
every
year
we
come
together
at
this
time
of
year
and
it's
really
a
special
celebration
that
has
a
electricity
of
its
own
and
it
really
reflects
I,
think
the
excitement
and
the
vitality
and
the
energy
that
is
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Today.
E
I
think
it's
captured
by
the
employees
that
we
are
honoring
a
committee.
Just
so
you
know,
meets
and
the
recipients
of
tonight's
war
Awards
nominated
by
their
fellow
employees.
But
it's
the
Boston
supervisors
and
department
heads
and
we
get
these
big
notebooks
with
all
the
nominations
and
we
sit
around
a
big
table
with
yell
at
each
other
and
negotiate
and
and
this
year
we
we
had
some
new
members
of
our
committee
and
it
was
a
great
great
exercise.
E
A
great
exercise
and
everybody
in
the
committee
saw
something
different
in
in
the
candidates
and
the
result
was
nine
outstanding,
outstanding
recipients.
And
so
we're
pleased
so
pleased
to
serve
on
the
committee
and
to
come
together
tonight
to
celebrate
the
city
of
Boston
through
its
employees
who
receive
the
shadow
quad.
It's
my
pleasure
to
introduce
mayor
mountain
Walsh.
Really
the
mayor
really
has
great
respect
and
appreciation
for
all
employees
of
the
city
to
boss.
E
As
you
know,
he
is
a
great
leader
of
our
city
city's
doing
well
and
he's
the
reason
for
it
and
he
expects
all
city
workers
to
work
hard
and
to
serve
the
people
of
the
city
and,
like
himself,
the
employees
we
honor
tonight
go
that
extra
mile.
That's
the
criteria
that
they
do
their
job,
but
they're
supposed
to
do.
But
these
employees,
like
the
mayor,
extend
themselves,
extend
themselves
to
help
their
fellow
employees,
people
of
the
city
of
Boston,
and
they
go
that
extra
mile.
E
They
make
that
extra
call
or
they
extend
that
extra
effort
to
to
succeed
on
behalf
of
the
city
and
like
the
mayor,
who,
we
all
know,
has
a
tremendous
schedule
every
day,
venez
schedule
every
day
in
the
city,
his
vibrant
look
around
with
the
development
and
the
employment
and
what's
going
on.
But
at
the
same
time,
the
mayor
has
not
forgotten
people
in
the
city
who
are
in
need.
E
He
cares
deeply
about
whether
his
folks
were
served
at
Boston,
Medical
Center,
but
his
people
here
to
go
to
our
Boston
Public
Schools
with
his
people,
our
neighborhoods,
who
rely
on
services
the
mayor.
Here's
about
that
deeply
and
is
grateful
for
the
City
of
Boston
employees
who
provide
those
services.
So
I'm
pleased
to
welcome
this
evening.
Maeyamada
walls.
F
Thank
you
belly
and
Thank
You
Billy.
We
missed
you
actual
ability.
We
missed
them
yesterday
at
City
Hall,
but
I
appreciate
all
of
your
great
work,
and
particularly
here
with
the
Shattuck
Awards
I,
want
to
thank
kara
Berkeley
for
co-chairing
this
year.
Incredible
group
of
people
that
that
the
Shattuck
who
was
are
acknowledging
tonight
I
want
to
thanks
him
as
well
and
Tom
I
wanna.
Thank
all
the
board
of
directors
for
what
you
do
every
day,
I
don't
see,
I
can't
see
elected
officials
or,
if
you're
out
there.
Thank
you
for
coming
tonight.
F
If
I
see,
if
you
stand
up,
I'll
see
you
so
thank
you
for
that
and
I
want
to
thank
in
particular
Sam
for
keeping
the
shadow
cord
strong.
This
is
an
incredible
incredible
event
in
the
city
and
I
told
everyone.
Yesterday,
all
the
city,
employees,
who
are
saving
one
tonight
to
take
it
in
because
this
is
this-
is
your
Grammys.
This
is
a
recognition
of
your
incredible
work
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
that.
F
F
Public
service,
for
me,
is
a
calling
it's
a
way
to
help
devote
your
life
to
helping
other
people,
making
your
neighborhood,
your
community,
a
city
state,
stronger,
taking
on
public
trust
and
certainly
being
held
accountable.
It's
not
easy
or
not,
always
popular
to
be
in
government.
These
days,
too
many
people
demonize
public
employees
I've
seen
in
my
entire
legislative
career,
when
I
was
a
state
rep
and
I
always
would
make
sure
that
whenever
I
took
the
floor
of
the
house
or
I
was
fighting
for
public
employees.
F
Those
are
the
folks
that
are
being
recognized
tonight.
Those
are
the
areas
that
they
all
touch.
In
other
words,
these
are
the
things
that
our
community
values-
these
are
the
things
that
make
our
communities
and
our
neighborhoods
stronger.
These
are
the
things
that
make
Boston
the
greatest
city
in
the
world,
I'm
proud
to
work
with
all
of
the
winners
that
are
here
tonight
and
I'm,
proud
to
win
work
with
all
the
past
winners
as
well
this
year.
F
F
Who
tonight
is
related
to
me,
because
the
snowboard,
a
Boston
Medical,
Center
and
she's,
showing
how
it's
done
and
I've
known,
Kate
Walsh
for
probably
almost
my
entire
career
and
watched
her
come
into
my
offices
of
rather
come
into
my
offices,
man,
and
see
her
on
the
street
providing
services,
whether
it's
nutrition
or
recovery
services,
coordinating
care
or
after
the
Boston
Marathon,
getting
to
know
all
the
survivors
on
a
first-name
basis
and
continuing
that
support
and
that
love
to
all
the
survivors
showing
you
how
a
healthy
community
makes
for
healthy
individuals.
Congratulations
Kate
on
the.
F
F
Jim
does
a
lot
frost
city
in
2008
13.
He
did
something
historic
hours
after
the
Marathon
bombing.
He
got
on
the
phone
with
the
mayor,
Mayor
Menino
and
he
created
the
one
fund
and
they
were
able
to
provide
a
way
for
ordinary
people
to
lift
up
the
survivors.
He
helped
turn
the
hottest
moment
into
a
story
of
hope.
F
He
also
every
year
is
one
of
our
leaders
in
our
summer
job
program
he's
a
person
that
doesn't
ask
what
should
I
do
he
asked
how
much
should
I
do
and
I
want
to
thank
him
before
that,
so
whether
it
was
uncertain
times
in
our
country
or
our
world,
Boston
went
forward.
I
also
had
the
great
opportunity
to
sit
with
Jim.
After
the
one-year
anniversary
of
the
Boston
Marathon
bombing
I
was
at
the
finish
line.
F
It
was
my
first
year
as
mayor
in
the
two
of
us
stood
there
for
almost
eight
hours,
I
think
watching
every
single
runner
come
through
the
finish
line
and
I
watched
on
his
face
that
day
as
mr8
shirts.
They
were
just
beginning
back
then
well
going
through
the
marathon
I
watched
his
face,
light
up
because
he
knew
he
had
a
big
impact
there.
So
Jim
congratulations
and
thank
you
for
our
city.
G
Okay,
for
those
of
you
who
I
don't
know,
I'm
Kara,
Buckley
and
I
work
at
P&G,
Gillette
and
I'm
very
happy
to
be
here
tonight
and
pleased
to
be
in
such
great
company.
I
also
had
a
chance
to
review
a
lot
of
the
applications
and
I
was
really
awestruck
by
the
contributions
that
all
of
tonight's
winners
have
made
to
this
community
and
just
really
made
this
city
the
vibrant
and
special
place
that
it
is
so.
Thank
you
all
for
that.
G
So
reviewing
hundreds
of
neighborhood
projects
of
every
shape,
size
and
nature
throughout
the
city
is
an
incredible
undertaking,
but
Michael
canoes
Oh.
Does
it
with
ease
unwavering
integrity,
professionalism
and
humor.
Without
a
doubt,
the
city
of
Boston
is
far
richer
for
his
efforts
as
a
senior
architect
at
the
BPD.
A
Michaels
commitment
to
historic
preservation
and
improving
Boston
is
valued
by
all
who
work
with
him
and
his
enthusiasm
is
contagious
to
the
workplace.
He
feels
every
day
he
learned
something
new
that
helps
him
with
his
work
and
helps
him
to
inspire
others.
Michael.
H
My
cocoon
is
enthusiasm
for
and
devotion
to
his
job
senior
architect
in
the
BP
DA's
urban
design
and
planning
department.
His
colleagues
and
the
citizens
of
Boston
embodies
the
ideal
of
an
engaged
public
surf.
Michael
is
a
staunch
supporter
of
the
value
of
Historic
Preservation
in
neighborhoods
and
communities.
He
came
to
the
city
in
1987
to
work
with
the
Boston
landmark
Commission
collaborating
with
the
historic
district
Commission
in
the
past
30
years,
Michael
has
had
input
on
just
about
every
historic
preservation
project
throughout
Boston
in
2002
Michael
worked
in
urban
design
and
planning.
H
In
this
role
he
has
had
an
impact
on
the
majority
of
large-scale
reconstruction
projects
in
Boston,
along
with
his
deputy
director.
He
is
responsible
for
reviewing
and
approving
all
new
building
projects
throughout
the
city.
His
vision
has
helped
to
revitalize
neighborhoods
and
promote
a
development
of
housing
and
businesses
producing
vibrant
communities
throughout
Boston.
Congratulations,
Michael!
You
are
truly
deserving
of
this
2018
shadow.
E
E
H
And
then
senior
building
custodian
at
the
Hawkins
building
downtown
for
16
years,
employees
at
the
Hawkins
building
were
heartbroken
when
he
transferred
to
City
Hall,
where
he's
first
to
welcome
and
help
newcomers,
whether
employees
or
visitors,
and
to
assist
when
a
co-worker
needs
help.
If
a
meeting
grows
from
20
to
60
attendees
Jim
is
first
on
the
scene
to
rearrange
the
room
and
secure
additional
materials.
H
Another
example
of
his
thoughtfulness
is
that,
before
moving
anything
on
an
employee's
desk
to
clean,
he
takes
a
picture,
so
he
will
know
exactly
where
to
return
items
and
not
to
disturb
the
work
when
employees
were
asked
to
donate
to
the
help.
Houston
truck
Jim
made
certain
that
all
the
donations
were
delivered
to
the
collection
center
working
long
hours
to
collect
pack
and
transport
items.
Jim
is
the
unsung
hero
of
City
Hall.
Thank
you,
Jim,
and
congratulations
on
our
2018.
G
While
many
would
be
waylaid
by
the
convocations
of
bureaucratic
hurdles
that
are
part
of
securing
and
protecting
federal
funds
for
the
City
of
Boston,
Bob
Garrett
and
his
hard
work,
ain't
dedicated
in
inspiring
way
does
not
let
complications
get
in
the
way
of
achieving
these
goals.
You
can
typically
find
Bob
working
behind
the
scenes,
promoting
confidence
and
feelings
of
achievement
in
his
team,
while
being
incredibly
generous
with
his
knowledge
and
his
guidance
Bob.
Please
join
us
on
stage
to
accept
your
award.
H
As
deputy
director
policy
development
and
research
at
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
Bob
Garrett
is
a
major
force
in
providing
critical
services
to
the
city's
most
vulnerable
residents.
Bob
has
been
responsible
for
his
team's
creation
of
extensive
databases
that
provide
the
critical
underpinning
for
much
of
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
policies
undertaken
by
DMV
for
more
than
30
years.
Bob
has
been
a
key
leader
on
the
Neighborhood
Development
policy
team,
as
head
of
the
Indies
policy
and
research
division.
Bob
provides
the
primary
interface
with
the
US
Housing
and
Urban
Development
Department.
H
His

has
gained
funds
for
innumerable
community
development
and
led
abatement
projects.
Bob
also
secured
funding
for
the
Quincy
Corridor
transformation
plan,
enabling
the
city
to
reconfigure
rebuild
or
build
200
housing
units
in
Roxbury
and
Dorchester.
Additionally,
after-school
and
adult
education
programs
were
funded
and
the
Pearl
meets
building
was
transformed
into
a
food
incubator,
providing
jobs
for
local
residents.
Robert
Garrett
is
truly
a
devoted
public
servant
and
well
deserving
of
a
20-18
Shattuck
ignored.
E
He
ensures
everyone
he
comes
in
contact
with
or
who
knows
that?
If
you
are
not
mind
to
it,
excuse
me
any
goal
you
have
is
attainable.
If
you
put
your
mind
to
it,
Allen's
work
has
helped
in
to
interrupt
the
goal
of
part
of
the
cycle
of
poverty
for
scores
of
families
in
Boston,
Allen,
Gentile
Allen.
Please
come
to
the
stage.
H
Allen

Leroy
IV
on
your
selection
as
a
20-18
shadek
awardee.
You
are
true.
E
You
know
the
committee
first
meets
the
recipients
just
on
paper,
as
we
read
the
nominations,
and
then
we
have
a
lunch
in
our
first
Shattuck
event
is
a
luncheon
that
we
have
and
we
go
around
the
room
and
we
ask
the
recipients
to
talk
about
who
they
are
and
what
they
do
and,
as
you
can
see
from
Ted
so
far
tonight.
These
stories
that
each
each
has
is
extremely
compelling
and
in
moving
and
the
next
one
that
I'm
going
to
want
to
do
certainly
fits
into
that
category.
E
When
Boston
Police
Officer
mix
mix
shell
Michele
McPhee
she's
me
Maffeo
interpolation,
with
the
light
I'm
sorry
Maffeo
found
out
her
son
had
autism,
she
knew
her.
Life
was
going
to
change
with
her
boundless
energy.
Michelle
took
the
opportunity
to
not
only
help
her
son
but
to
change
the
city
of
Boston
for
the
better
through
her
compassion
in
understanding
of
autism
in
Alzheimer's,
michelle
has
been
effective
in
approving
how
the
city's
first
responders
comfort
and
care
for
these
individuals.
Please
welcome
Michele's
of
the
stands.
H
Throughout
her
career
with
the
Boston
Police
Department
Michelle
Maffeo
has
dedicated
herself
to
helping
those
with
autism
spectrum
disorders
and
Alzheimer's
and
their
caregivers
in
2006,
through
a
collaboration
with
the
autism
and
law-enforcement
coalition,
Michelle
began
training
the
city's
first
responders
to
understand
the
challenges
these
individuals
face
and
how
to
interact
with
them
compassionately.
Her
efforts
resulted
in
the
development
of
a
mandatory
training
program
on
autism
and
Alzheimer's
for
all
Boston
police
officers.
Michelle
brings
this
training
program
to
the
Suffolk
County
Sheriff's
Office,
the
state
police,
police
academy,
cadets
and
Park
Rangers.
H
Recently
she
began
a
similar
program
for
Massachusetts
General
Hospital
personnel
Michelle
also
created
the
North
Star
alert
program
which
provides
police
with
a
photo
and
description
of
citizens
who
may
wander
so.
Officers
will
be
better
equipped
to
find
and
help
them.
Michelle
regularly
shares
information
on
the
program,
the
families
at
public
workshops,
Thank,
You,
Michelle
Maffeo
for
your
dedication
to
the
citizens
of
Boston
and
congratulations
on
your
2018.
G
So
this
next
funder,
I
think,
is
gonna
go
down
in
record
history
because
she
refused
to
pick
up
the
phone
when
we
were
trying
to
call
her
to
tell
her
that
she
had
won
her
award
because
she
didn't
want
to
leave
her
kids
during
her
regular
lunch
shift,
which
I
just
think
is
awesome.
If
you
have
not
heard
of
accountable
lunches
before
just
ask
the
students
and
faculty
at
the
Tobin
school,
and
they
will
tell
you
all
about
their
lunch
mother
not
monitor
Ms
Maria
as
any
mother
does
Ms
Maria
wears
many
hats.
G
She
is
an
educator,
a
nutritionist,
a
language
instructor,
a
monitor
of
clean
habits,
a
mentor
and
a
mom
to
all
who
pass
through
the
Tobin
School.
She
is
someone
who
dispenses
love
and
advice
with
an
unwavering
understanding
that
everything
can
be
a
learning
opportunity
and
I
had
the
chance
to
sit
next
to
her
at
lunch,
and
she
shared
with
me
that
she
keeps
in
touch
with
their
students
years
and
years
later
and
I.
Just
think
that
says
a
lot
about
who
she
is
as
a
person
so
Maria.
H
As
a
lunch
monitor
at
Boston's,
Tobin
K
through
8
school
Maria
Rodriguez
provides
constant
support
for
students,
she's
the
embodiment
of
the
team
player
and
never
hesitates
to
support
students
or
staff.
Maria
is
both
an
educator
having
conversations
about
improving
study
and
health
habits
and
a
friend
who
makes
recess
safe,
the
Maria
effect
happens
as
soon
as
students
enter
the
Tobin
School
Maria
visits
the
children
at
mealtimes,
encouraging
them
to
try
healthy
foods.
The
lasting
result
is
even
1st.
Graders
can
be
heard.
Comparing
the
merits
of
regular
to
chocolate,
milk
and
discussing
which
choice.
H
Miss
Maria
would
recommend
a
prime
example
of
Maria's
concern
for
her
students
occurred
after
an
accident
and
involved
Maria
and
a
young
boy.
Despite
her
own
need
for
medical
attention.
Her
only
request
was
to
be
present
at
the
parent
meeting,
so
she
could
help
him
understand
how
he
could
be
safer,
Thank,
You,
Maria
Rodriguez
for
your
commitment
to
our
youth,
their
families
and
their
teachers.
Congratulations
on
your
selection
as
a
20-18
shot
at
the
water
city.
You
truly
are
a
hero.

These
are
the
words
that
most
frequently
used
when
describing
Claudia
Ruffo
a
teacher
at
the
Baldwin
school
for
never
ending,
drive
to
engage
and
teach
the
students
she
comes
in
contact
with
is
are
inspiring.
She
is
a
Wonder
Woman
who
truly
believes
in
doing
whatever
she
can
whenever
she
can
to
help
the
Baldwin
community
in
others.
Please
welcome
to
the
stage
Claudia
Ruffo.
H
During
Claudia
repose
14
years
at
Boston's,
Baldwin
Early,
Learning,
Highland
Academy,
her
dedication
to
students,
families
and
staff
has
inspired
off.
Everyone
who
enters
Claudia's
classroom
is
immediately
aware
of
her
commitment.
Just
by
seeing
the
engaging
work,
areas
and
visual
displays
that
say.
Welcome
and
children
belong
here.
Students,
hug,
mrs.
Ruffo
and
express
their
joy
at
seeing
her
each
morning,
former
students
now
in
middle
or
high
school,
often
come
back
to
visit.
Mrs.
Ruffo.
H
Recently,
the
mother
of
one
of
Claudia's
students
was
missing
work
to
care
from
their
seriously
ill
child
Claudia
discreetly
arranged
for
grocery
store
gift
cards,
so
the
child's
mother
could
focus
on
caring
for
her
son.
When
the
child
returned
to
school
Claudia
made
certain
his
health
care
was
attended
to
and
continued
this
watchfulness
throughout
his
years
at
Baldwin
Academy,
mrs.
Ruffo
is
always
ready
to
help
a
colleague
who
need
it
and
makes
new
staff
feel
welcome.
Thank,
You,
Claudia
Bufo
for
your
commitment
to
your
students
and
congratulations
on
your
2018.

Okay,
so
we
are
pleased
that
former
shadek
Award
recipients
are
actually
here
with
us
tonight
to
celebrate
this
year's
recipients.
So
if
we
could,
for
a
second
just
have
all
of
our
past
Shattuck
Award
recipients
stand
up,
including
the
Chairman's
Award
in
the
city,
champions
award
recipients
and
stand.
So
we
can
give
you
all
one
final
round
of
applause.
E
Before
we
gotta
go
further
with
the
shadow
champions
was
I
just
wanted
to
thank
on
behalf
of
the
committee
and
care
of
myself
and
all
members
of
the
bureau
and
know
Tom
Sam
I
like
want
to
thank
Sam
and
Pam,
and
in
Jen
and
all
members
of
the
Bureau
staff
for
this
wonderful
evening
tonight
and
for
all
the
work
they
do
on
behalf
of
the
bureau
all
year
round.
So
thank
you
all
very
much.
E
It's
my
pleasure
to
introduce
the
Shattuck
champions
award
from
the
business
community
to
Jim
Gallagher,
the
general
counsel
executive.
Vice
president
general
counsel
of
manual
life
and
John
Hancock
John
Hancock,
as
we
all
know,
is
a
venerable
Boston
institution
that
has
been
gauged
in
the
city
of
Boston
throughout
its
history.
If
we
grew
up
here
in
the
city,
we
knew
someone
that
worked
there.
We
may
have
gone
to
a
dance
recital.
My
mother
mayor
dragged
me
to
at
the
Dorothy
Quincy
suite.
We
may
have
gone
to
a
graduation
there.
E
We
may
have
look
at
the
lights
on
top
of
the
hearing
clock,
building
to
see
what
the
weather
was
or
if
the
Red
Sox
game
was
on.
Remember
when
the
tower
was
built
and
I
must
admit
you
in
when
the
windows
fell
out
and
of
course,
though,
that's
a
great
visibility
in
the
city
that
that
John
Hancock
has
had
and
continues
to
have
and
continues
to
be
committed
in
all
aspects,
charitable
Civic
in
in
many
ways
in
our
schools.
E
As
the
mayor
said,
the
Boston
Scholars
program,
just
just
so
many
ways
and
although
you
know
the
manual
life
is-
is
headquartered
in
Toronto
in
the
parent
company
of
John
Hancock
I
heard
Mary
Ann
Harrison
the
new
president
of
Hancock's
Pete
the
other
day,
and
she
talked
about
the
changing
world
of
life
insurance.
But
she's
talked
strongly
of
the
continued
commitment
that
John
Hancock
would
have
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
it
was
just
great
to
hear
her
speak
after
one
year
as
being
the
president
of
the
benefit
that
the
company
gets
from.
E
E
That
way
as
well.
Jim
also
was
engaged
in
Catholic
Charities
in
the
city
of
Boston.
He's
board
of
the
chairman
of
the
board
and
Catholic
Charities
is,
is
so
valuable
in
our
community
providing
services,
food,
pantries,
childcare,
health
care,
immigration,
services,
and
it's
just
an
organization
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
under
the
archdiocese
that
that
does
so
many
things.
E
For
so
many
people
who
are
in
need
that
the
mayor
and
all
of
you
in
the
room
care
about
in
so
many
ways,
so
I'm
so
pleased
that
we
honor
Jim
tonight
with
this
champions
award,
because
he
really,
as
I
said,
personifies
that
combination
of
an
individual
in
his
in
his
pearl
in
his
professional
life
in
his
personal
life,
makes
a
difference.
So
please
welcome
with
me.
Jim
Gallagher.

He
oversees

and
as
a
member
of
manualized

perhaps
nothing
epitomizes,
Jim's
commitment
to
Boston
more
than
his
role
with
one
fund
Boston
following
the
marathon
bond
the
day
after
the
attack,
Mayor
Tom,
Menino
and
Governor
Deval
Patrick
announced
the
creation
of
one
fund.
H
Boston
and
Jim
was
part
of
a
small
group
working
to
create
and
organize
the
fund.
The
fund
was
established
with
a
1
million
dollar
contribution
from
John
Hancock
and
75
days.
After
the
creation
of
the
fund,
nearly
61
million
dollars
had
been
distributed
to
the
survivors
and
families
of

victims

20
million
dollars.
More
was
later
distributed.

H
H
I
Promise
to
keep
this
brief,
so
thank
you.
Bill
for
the
kind
introduction
and
I'm
really
deeply
grateful
to
the
research
bureau
for
this
very
special
recognition.
Mr.
mayor,
it's
always
wonderful
to
be
with
you
and
other
leaders
from
your
administration
so
well
represented
here
tonight.
That's
why
Boston
is
the
beautiful
city
that
it
is.
Congratulations.
I
I'm
humbled
by
this
honor
and
I
accept
it
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues
at
John
Hancock,
many
of
the
talented
people
right
here,
I'm
so
very
proud
of
them.
They
are
very
special
professionals
who
look
after
our
customers
and
our
community
as
well,
and
I
join
everyone
here
in
congratulating
Kate
Walsh,
along
with
the
dedicated
public
servants
being
recognized
for
their
service
to
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
Boston
community.
I
The
bureau
extends
its
leadership
in
our
community
by
honoring
individuals,
who
don't
always
get
public
praise,
but
who
so
richly
deserve
great
credit
for
the
work
they
do
every
day
to
make
people's
lives
better
and
our
community
stronger.
The
Shattuck
awards
are
especially
meaningful
because
they
celebrate
those
who
go
above
and
beyond
the
call
of
duty.
It
really
strikes
me
there
is
a
consistent
thread
this
evening.
The
focus
of
the
honorees
is
always
on
the
best
interests
of
the
people
being
served.
Success
usually
can
be
measured
with
a
simple
question:
are
you
helping
people?
I
And
I
see
it
at
the
Boston
Marathon
a
race
John
Hancock
has
very
proudly
sponsored
for
33
years,
when
runners
run
on
behalf
of
a
cause
to
help
a
neighbor
in
need
and
I
saw
it
with
the
one
fund
Boston,
which
Mayor
Menino
established
within
24
hours.
After
that
unspeakable
tragedy,
I
was
privileged
to
serve
on
the
board
of
the
one
fund,
with
great
leaders
in
our
community
like
Mike,
Sheehan
and
Jack
Connors
and
others
like
Paul,
Connolly
and
Laurie
van
damme
was
here
with
us
tonight.
I
On
that
day
we
saw
the
worst
of
humanity,
but
we
also
saw
remarkable
acts
of
bravery,
dedication
and
unmatched
generosity
from
public
safety
officials,
volunteers,
runners,
spectators
and
doctors
and
nurses
at
Boston,
Medical,
Center
and
hospitals
across
our
city,
the
over
the
overwhelming
outpouring
of
love
and
generosity.
The
one
fund
received
from
around
the
world
was
unparalleled.
The
one
fund
received
and
quickly
distributed
over
80
million
dollars
from
over
200,000
individuals
and
companies
from
across
Boston,
the
United
States
and
around
the
world.
I
Grassroot
efforts
like
lemonade
stands:
student-led
fundraising
campaigns
and
restaurant
workers
donating
their
tips
were
at
the
heart
of
that
effort.
It
was
just
ordinary
people
doing
extraordinary
things,
not
seeking
any
type
of
recognition
coming
together
to
help
I've
said
it
before
that
I
hope.
We
never
forget
the
compassionate
spirit
that
brought
our
city
together
in
2013
and
I'm
reminded
tonight
that
the
spirit
lives
on
through
the
quiet,
dedication
of
those
being
honored
here
tonight.
Together,
we
love
our
community,
we
work
hard
and
we
take
good
care
of
one
another.

Learned
something
tonight
never
go
last
at
an
award
like
this.
First
of
all,
I've
been
crying
most
of
the
night.
It's
really
just
so
wonderful
to
be
honored
with
so
many
great
city
champions
and
Shattuck
Award
winners.
Tonight,
I'm
really
really
just
thrilled
to
be
here
and
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all,
on
behalf
of
everyone
at
Boston,
Medical
Center,
for
this
wonderful
honor
I'm,
the
one
on
stage
tonight,
which
is
really
cool,
I'm,
very
excited,
but
it's
the
six
thousand
people
who
work
at
BMC,
who
are
the
true
city
champions.
J
Now
your
uber
z'
used
to
be
your
taxi
cabs,
who
build
our
city
who
keep
us
safe.
Our
mission
is
to
serve
the
public
just
like
everyone
in
this
room
and
all
the
Award
winners
tonight,
and
we
also
have
the
honor
of
providing
exceptional
care
without
exception
to
everyone
who
comes
through
our
doors.
So
it
seems
very
fitting
that
we
get
to
join
you
here
tonight
to
celebrate
the
Shattuck
awards,
the
excellence
in
public
service
and
the
very
important
role
that
the
Boston
Municipal
Research
Bureau
plays.
In
fact,
you
know
this
little
secret.
J
The
Boston
Municipal
Research
Bureau
was
instrumental
in
the
do
doing
the
work
in
the
real
and
the
foundational
thinking
they
actually
created.
Boston,
Medical,
Center
and
actually
a
Sam
Tyler
son
was
resident
in
our
Hospital.
I
wasn't
going
to
tell
you
that,
because
I
thought
you
guys
who
think?
Oh,
the
fix
was
in
that's
why
she
got
this
award.
J
We
are,
we
were.
We
were
very
happy
to
have
a
piece
now
in
Chicago,
but
but
the
bus,
Municipal
Research
Bureau,
has
been
a
key
resource
to
our
city.
Back
then,
when
Boston
Medical
Center
was
formed
and
many
many
many
many
more
times
in
the
proceed
in
the
upcoming
preceding
decades.
Bus
a
Medical,
Center's
goal
is
to
be
a
true
partner.
With
all
of
you
in
this
room
with
our
mayor
and
making
Boston
the
healthiest
urban
population
in
the
world
by
the
year,
2030
and
I
know
we
can
do
it.
A
And
you
know
our
final
graduations
to
the
recipients,
I
think
as
a
committee
as
an
organization,
you
know
we
really
feel
really
privileged
to
to
have
the
opportunity
to
to
learn
more
about
the
employees
that
are
being
nominated
and
we
we
see
them
every
day,
and
this
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
in
1985
the
Shattuck
awards
started
because
we
we
do
see
the
dedication.
The
commitment-
and
you
know
to
us.
Public
service
is
a
honorable
profession
and
it
really
does
deserve
to
be
celebrated.
A
We're
delighted
to
be
the
group
that
does
that
once
a
year
now,
just
remember
that
the
success
of
the
Shattuck
awards
depends
on
really
good
nominations,
so
be
thinking
about
a
city
employee
that
you
think
is
doing
a
fabulous
job
above
and
beyond
what
you
would
expect
and
look
out
for
the
nomination
forms,
probably
in
March-
and
you
know,
get
us
to
that
good.
So
we
can
continue
this
event
and
have
really
stellar
stars
that
we're
honoring
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
and
being
a
part
of
that.
So
with
that.
