The annual Distinguished Citizen award luncheon will take place on March 26 at Housatonic Community College’s Event Center in Beacon Hall.
“Bruce was chosen as this year’s Distinguished Citizen Award winner because of his tireless service to the Greater Bridgeport community and beyond,” said Christopher P. McCormack, partner in the Bridgeport law firm Pullman & Comley and president of the Housatonic Community College Foundation.
“He serves in leadership roles on the boards of a number of nonprofit organizations that provide important and critical community services," McCormack said of Silverstone. "He is undeniably held in high esteem by his colleagues and it is our pleasure to present him with this year’s award.”
In Silverstone's seven years with Aquarion, he has helped to launch some of the company's charitable and environmental initiatives, including the House of Hope Food Drive, a partnership with St. Vincent’s Medical Center that has collected over 22 tons of food for food pantries, and the statewide Aquarion Environmental Champion Awards program.
Silverstone is active in the community, serving on a number of organizational boards, including the St. Vincent’s Special Needs Center; the Stamford Museum and Nature Center, Workplace Inc., Beardsley Zoo, the Barnum Festival and the Mystic Aquarium President’s Council.
The Distinguished Citizen Award Luncheon helps support programs at Housatonic Community College, including Manufacturing Center programs, high school outreach, student success programs and scholarships.
