Some 1700 NEC members and guests gathered at the Seaport Hotel/World Trade Center in Boston, MA, on October 21, 2020, for The New England Council’s 2019 Annual Dinner. We were pleased to honor four remarkable New Engalnders of the Year:

Roger W. Crandall, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, MassMutual
The Honorable Maggie Hassan, United States Senator, New Hampshire

The highlight of each year’s Annual Dinner is the presentation of the prestigious “New Englander of the Year” awards. First presented over 40 years ago, the award is meant to honors residents of the New England states for their commitment and contributions in their fields of work, as well as their leadership and impact on the New England region’s quality of life and economy. Over the years, has honored leaders from both the public and private sectors, including U.S. Senators and Representatives, Governors, cabinet secretaries, college presidents, non-profit executives, and CEOs of some of the region’s most respected and successful businesses.
