Recognizing Excellence in Our Community: The Newburyport Asset Awards
Recently, Kristin McDonald, my District Liaison Legislative Aide, attended the Newburyport Asset Awards at the Newburyport Senior Center to honor outstanding individuals in our community on my behalf. These awards shine a light on those who make a lasting difference in the lives of young people through their encouragement, support, and leadership.
Congratulations to this year’s honorees:
*Asset Builder Award*
- Laurie Naughton, Newburyport (recognized this year for her 2023 award)
- Kendall Bowie, Newburyport
- Deborah Szabo, Newburyport
- Amari Murphy, Newburyport
- Alice Sedgwick, Georgetown
- Raelyn Crifo, Newburyport
- Andrea Egmont, Amesbury
*The Lindamae Lucas Award for Excellence*
- Nicole Twomey, Ipswich
*The Prevention Champions Award*
- Michael Nesson, Newburyport
Each of these recipients was nominated by members of the community for their meaningful impact on local youth—and their contributions are truly deserving of celebration.
Thank you to all who make the Asset Awards possible and to everyone working every day to build stronger, more supportive communities for our young people.
